The Kavli Foundation, based in Los Angeles, is a philanthropic organization focused on advancing science for the benefit of humanity. Its core aim is to stimulate basic research across astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, and theoretical physics, while also strengthening the link between science and society. It recognizes scientific breakthroughs through The Kavli Prize, which is awarded every two years. It supports researchers and institutions conducting fundamental science and seeks to broaden public understanding of scientific work. In 2026, it announced a partnership with the Dana Foundation to form the Civic Science Funders Collaborative. Headquartered in the Los Angeles area, the foundation maintains a relatively small team and engages with the broader science community through its prize and collaborative initiatives.
