When you join the Academy’s Leadership Circles of Giving, you join a select community of individuals who care deeply about the Academy and its mission. Leadership Circle donors play a critical role in sustaining the Academy's scientific research programs, which explore today's most significant questions in environmental science, biodiversity, and evolution.

In recognition of their exceptional generosity, Leadership Circle donors have special access to all the Academy has to offer, including opportunities to meet with Academy scientists and curators to learn firsthand about the Academy's outstanding collections and research, exclusive invitations to special receptions and exhibit previews, behind-the-scenes tours, and much more.
