We work to advance scientific discovery through grantmaking, research and public engagement.
What is the Simons Foundation?
The Simons Foundation is a private foundation headquartered in New York City. Our mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. Co-founded in 1994 by Jim and Marilyn Simons, the foundation exists to support basic — or discovery-driven — scientific research undertaken in the pursuit of understanding the phenomena of our world.
Our Mission and Model Why is basic science important?Our Program Areas
In 2016, the foundation launched the Flatiron Institute, an internal research division with the mission to advance scientific research through computational methods, including data analysis, theory, modeling and simulation. The foundation also makes grants in five areas: Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, autism research (SFARI), neuroscience and Science, Society and Culture.

Employees of the foundation are mission-driven, smart and collaborative. Collaboration is a key value of our culture and it is encouraged in everything we do. The opportunities for gaining further knowledge are endless – you can hear about computational astrophysics at a staff meeting, take advantage of our continuous learning opportunities or attend lectures on topics from black hole collisions and neurodevelopmental disorders to string theory.
