"I believe that the future of human health will be found in genetic research. And the future of genetic research will be found at The Jackson Laboratory. That’s why I believe. That’s why I give."

 - Cornelia Cogswell Rossi (1932-2003), founding member of the Society for Discovery

The Jackson Laboratory is fortunate to have the support of donors who have included it in their estate plans and have joined the Society for Discovery. Since the Laboratory’s founding in 1929, those donors have established bequests, trusts, and other planned gifts, and have enabled support of the talent, commitment, and imagination of Jackson Laboratory scientists.

If you have already included the Laboratory in your estate plan, or if you intend to, please let us know. It is a privilege for us to recognize and honor you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. With your help, The Jackson Laboratory will continue to be a world leader in the effort to understand and conquer disease.
