Learn more about your impact

This fund strengthens pioneering efforts to develop technologies that can capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air. Your generosity helps provide hands-on student learning opportunities, innovative equipment and the testing of new materials and systems that move direct air capture from concept to real‑world deployment.

By contributing to this work, you help advance strategies that go beyond reducing emissions and instead aim for truly negative carbon outcomes. This gift fuels progress toward scalable solutions that can capture more carbon than we produce, accelerating the transition to a carbon‑negative economy and contributing to global climate goals.

We're not just aiming to bring carbon dioxide emissions down; we're aiming to have negative carbon emissions capturing more than we produce using our artificial and reusing it."
