As we mark our 75th anniversary, we reflect with gratitude on our collaborations and achievements in health and science. Looking ahead, we remain inspired and energized by the continued potential to drive meaningful progress in society through neuroscience.
Watch a brief overview of our journey:
The Dana Foundation was established by legislator and businessman Charles A. Dana and his wife Eleanor Naylor Dana in 1950 with initial grantmaking priorities in education, health, and welfare. Our first grant was awarded to Memorial Hospital for Treatment of Cancer, which set a course for a multi-decade commitment to cancer care, therapy, and research.

We’ll be sharing moments from our history and highlighting exciting opportunities ahead.
