Patrick J. McGovern Foundation

The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation supports pioneering neuroscience research and explores the ways in which advances in information and technology can improve the quality of life on Earth. The foundation is the legacy of Patrick McGovern (1937-2014), enterprising business leader, and tireless advocate for science, who believed that advanced technology and transformative breakthroughs in mental health and neuroscience have the power to change lives and society across the globe. Upon his passing in 2014, McGovern gave almost the entirety of his estate to this foundation. This act of generosity represents his lifetime as a visionary, trailblazer, forward-thinker, and philanthropist. This foundation will continue his legacy and passion for discovery and impact in the fields of neuroscience and information technology for years to come.
