A Decade of Discovery.
A Future of Innovation.
Our $1-Million Campaign:
Science Today, Science Tomorrow.
2026 marks 10 years of impact—a decade dedicated to unlocking scientific potential, advancing groundbreaking research, and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. As the key philanthropic partner to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, LLF plays a vital role in bridging the gap between visionary philanthropy and world-changing science.
To honor this incredible journey, we are celebrating all year long with the launch of our $1-Million Campaign: Science Today, Science Tomorrow. This campaign ensures that critical research and student pathways continue to thrive, fueling the discoveries of the next decade and beyond.
Unlock science today and fuel discovery for tomorrow!

Celebrating a Decade of Discovery
In 2026, the Livermore Lab Foundation celebrated 10 years of bringing philanthropy and science together to advance discovery and inspire the next generation. Our anniversary celebration brought together researchers, students, donors, community leaders, and friends to reflect on a decade of impact and look ahead to what’s possible.
Together, our supporters have helped LLF invest more than $11 million in groundbreaking research, STEM education, and emerging scientific talent—including 175 fellowship awards. The evening brought these accomplishments to life through the stories of researchers and students whose work has been made possible through philanthropic support.
As we celebrate where we’ve been, we’re excited to see what the next decade will make possible.

LLF Sponsors 2026 Science@Play Theme: An Exploration of AI the Threat and the Creative
We are proud to sponsor SPARC Theater’s Science@Play series. Science isn’t just in the Lab—it’s in our stories. At LLF, we’re advancing a neuro portfolio that pushes the boundaries of what we know about the brain. This month, we’re taking that mission to the theater.
