Richard Lounsbery Foundation
The Richard Lounsbery Foundation was founded in 1959, with a goal to enhance national strengths in science and technology and foster strong French-American cooperation. To this day, the Foundation has stayed true to its roots while expanding to promote science among young and to support components of US policy issues pertaining to science. The Foundation provides seed money or partial funding to novel projects and forward-looking leaders and teams. We seek to support projects that enhance national strengths in science and technology, prioritize French-American cooperation, or promote the Foundation’s mission in other ways.
