In 2024, the Dana Foundation announced Loyola University Chicago, Mass General Brigham, and University of California, Los Angeles together with Charles Drew University (UCLA-CDU) as awardees of the Dana Center initiative for Neuroscience & Society. This partnership aims to bring together leading academic institutions, neuroscientists, and the communities they serve to co-create the future of neuroscience. Join us for a fireside chat on the fundraising process, partnerships, and philanthropic strategies that led to the establishment of the Dana Centers. Speakers will reflect on the opportunities, roadblocks, and shared vision that shaped this landmark philanthropic investment.
