HudsonAlpha Partners – 2011 donors

HudsonAlpha relies on the generosity of donors to advance its mission of genomic research, educational outreach and economic development. We thank the individuals, organizations, businesses and foundations who support HudsonAlpha with their tax-deductible donations. Please Here we recognize our donors who gave $1000 or more in 2011, and those who have made cumulative gifts of $10,000 and above.

In 2012 we are launching HudsonAlpha’s first major gifts program. Those who make annual gifts of $1000 and above in a calendar year, or cumulative gifts of $25,000 and above, are recognized on the Society of Giving wall in the HudsonAlpha atrium, as well as at the Genome Circle dinner, the first of which is scheduled for February 2013. 

Thank you for your help in advancing the institute’s mission; we couldn’t do it without you! Please click here to learn how you can become a partner, as well as a member of the newly created Genome Circle.
