Give

You can make a tax-deductible donation on the secure UCLA giving site.

With your help, we can

  • Enable the purchase of equipment and telescope time to collect data
  • Improve the training of the next generation of scientists and engineers
  • Help bring the excitement of SETI to the UCLA classroom and the general public

SETI experienced a nearly 30-year federal funding drought between 1993 and 2020. We have secured a three-year grant (2021–2023) from NASA to fund our search, but the grant does not cover equipment or telescope costs.

To protect against federal funding volatility, we seek funds to establish a SETI research center and endow graduate student and postdoctoral fellowships, all of which will allow us to expand and accelerate our search.

Please consider partnering with us by making a donation.
