The Lemelson Foundation

Established by Jerome Lemelson, one of America's most prolific inventors, The Lemelson Foundation sparks, sustains and celebrates innovation and the inventive spirit. Our activities in the U.S. and Developing Countries aim at encouraging ingenuity as humanity's most abundant resource to spawn ideas and technologies that vastly improve lives.

To date, The Foundation has donated or committed more than $300 million in support of this mission.
