These programs are complimentary for Leakey Foundation Fellows, but those who make a “First Class” donation of $250 will receive access to the three live programs and one care package* of treats from the countries you will visit. 

100% of your donation will go to The Leakey Foundation’s Baldwin Fellowship Campaign. All donations will be quadrupled*. The Baldwin Fellowship helps students from under-resourced countries attend graduate school and achieve their dreams of becoming a scientist.

*Our sincere thanks to our generous sponsors who will quadruple all donations up to $22,500: the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, Mike Smith, Jeanne Newman, Alice Corning, Don Dana, and Ann and Jorge Leis.
