PRESIDENT’S CIRCLE

An extraordinary collection of supporters who have contributed $1M or more

The President’s Circle honors the extraordinary group of supporters who have contributed above a certain threshold of giving to the Weizmann Institute of Science. New members are inducted into the President’s Circle at every Global Gathering for the Weizmann Institute of Science, which takes place every three years in a different international city.

The President’s Circle is a way for the Institute to deeply thank its major supporters for being committed partners of the Institute and of world-class science.

Our growing cadre of President’s Circle members is testament to the breadth and depth of our worldwide community of friends—individuals who understand that the strength of this institution rests on a solid foundation of philanthropic support.

This extraordinary group is chaired by Lester Crown of Chicago.

The latest induction ceremony was held at the Global Gathering in Chicago in May 2025. Take a look at the stories about some of our inductees from recent years.
