For Donors
Join Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) in reimagining how universities harness social science to design, test, and scale actionable solutions. Our interdisciplinary labs are connecting leading experts from across the university with partners in government, school districts, law enforcement agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector for a singular purpose: to accelerate evidence-based solutions that address society’s most pressing problems.
Learn more about how our work supports Stanford’s long-range vision to ensure the university’s research and education makes a purposeful impact in the world.
The Case for Impact
We are committed to promoting a culture of public impact in higher education and demonstrating how social science can be put to use for society.
