Santa Fe
Institute

Support

SFI’s unique brand of creative inquiry and its unmatched intellectual firepower make it possible to ask big questions and reveal profound insights at scales not possible through traditional scientific analysis.

Overview

The Santa Fe Institute is a creative, collaborative center where young scientists and accomplished scholars spanning the disciplines work together to explore the underlying patterns in the complex systems we depend on.

Supporting the Santa Fe Institute provides a unique opportunity to impact the future. Our researchers, along with our broader community of collaborating scientists, scholars, intellectuals, and artists, explore complex systems like economies, ecosystems, human development, innovation, the evolution of intelligence, the origin of life, and more in over 30 one­-of­-a-­kind scientific meetings each year.

With a startup-level budget and the support of a community of like-minded thinkers, we achieve the world’s highest-risk, biggest-result complexity research: since 2010 there have been more than 63,000 citations of SFI published research, and our programs, like the Applied Complexity Network (ACtioN), Massive Open Online Courses, and our flagship Complex Systems Summer School have helped thousands of students, professionals, and partners use the approaches of complexity to achieve impact in business, academia, and society.

At SFI, your support enables the creative rigor and intellectual daring that produces insights possible nowhere else.
