CAMPAIGN PRIORITY
Power invention. Propel solutions.
Join the Campaign for Our Ocean Planet with a gift to Unlock Innovation and help advance new ideas and bold solutions to match the enormous scale and complexity of the ocean.
Build WHOI's Innovation Infrustructure
Enable WHOI to complete necessary upgrades to our dock facilities, which serve as the U.S. Northeast's launching pad for ocean exploration and discovery. Our dock is an essential piece of waterfront infrastructure, providing access to the sea for WHOI researchers and the entire U.S. research fleet.
| CWATER-related Naming Opportunities | $5 million+ (100% endowed) |
Support WHOI's premier, technology-oriented "collision space," designed to enable rapid prototyping, collaboration, systems integration, and knowledge transfer in the technological aspects of ocean science, including vehicles, sensors, and robotics.
| DeepTech Named Funds | $100,000+ (current use) |
| or $250,000 (endowed) |
Engineer the Future
Bring strategically flexible resources to technological advancement in key areas such as marine robotics, ocean observation, and sensor development, as well as the measurement, reporting, and verification capabilities needed to support ocean-based interventions to address climate change and other urgent challenges.
| Named technology hubs | $5 million+ (current use) |
Enhance WHOI's ability to conduct national-security-related science and engineering by expanding our historical strength in critical subdisciplines and supporting our new on-campus facility for classified research.
Enable Industry Collaboration and Commercialization
Drive innovation, invention, and industry collaboration at WHOI with support for the Institution's focused effort to expand commercialization and technology transfer, corporate-sponsored research, and industry partnerships.
Power the Mission
Bolster WHOI's historic strength in engineering and ocean observation with strategically flexible funds that can be used to seed new programs and spark innovation in ocean technology.
