Tom Slick's philanthropic vision created Southwest Foundation more than 60 years
ago and philanthropy sustains it today.
Since you
are considering joining the many friends and supporters of SFBR you should know
that together we have created:
- A powerful means to accomplish more through our donations than
most could ever hope to achieve on their own. Your philanthropic investment in SFBR
has more power because it joins with so many others to advance our cause.
- A shared vision of how research can improve life for future generations.
Our founder, Tom Slick, set forth this vision and many thousands of individuals,
corporations and foundations have shared that vision through their donations.
- A productive institution supporting independent scientific inquiry
of our faculty. SFBR researchers are among the most productive by any measure. While
the work of SFBR is basic research into the nature and causes of disease, our research
has had significant impact in the fields of vaccine development, cardiovascular
and metabolic diseases, lung disease of the premature infant and human reproductivity.
- A home for many extraordinary resources that
encourages collaboration among SFBR researchers and their colleagues from every
corner of the world.
