Support and Acknowledge KISS

We always love to hear from past KISS participants, and we appreciate your help to demonstrate our impact and grow our community. Your support really does make a difference.

Supporting KISS allows you to be at the forefront of scientific and technological research in space, help to build impactful communities around new mission concepts, and empower future leaders of the space science and technology community.

KISS is where bold ideas in space science take shape and the support of individuals, philanthropists, and industry partners is what allows those ideas to move forward. Whether you are inspired to make a personal gift, explore a philanthropic partnership, or find ways for your organization to engage with cutting-edge space science, your generous assistance will help ensure that we continue to seed the future of space exploration with new leaders, instruments, and mission concepts.

Your support can help fund the technical development programs that take KISS study concepts from blueprint to proof of concept, and amplify our early-career initiatives that empower the next generation of space exploration leaders.

We welcome conversations with donors, foundations, and industry partners about how to structure an engagement that works for you, whether that is a direct contribution, an endowed fund, a multi-year commitment, a matching gift, estate planning, or a research partnership with Caltech and JPL.
