Anonymous Gift Supports Earth Institute Priorities

The Earth Institute has been awarded an unrestricted $500,000 gift over 3 years from an anonymous donor. This is one of the largest unrestricted gifts received to date for the Columbia Campaign for the Earth Institute.

Unrestricted gifts allow the Earth Institute to address the most critical needs in several areas of research, education, and outreach. Gifts such as this one give us the flexibility to immediately respond to pressing needs and support new initiatives as we move forward with pioneering research and pursue solutions to real world problems.

AGU25, the premier Earth and space science conference, takes place December 15-19, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s theme—Where Science Connects Us—puts in focus how science depends on connection, from the lab to the field to the ballot box. Once again, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Columbia Climate School scientists, experts, students, and educators are playing an active role, sharing our research and helping shape the future of our planet. #AGU25 Learn More
