WEEK 1

Eureka Fund, based in San Francisco, is one of a handful of new nonprofit organizations created to give the general public an opportunity to pay for scientific research that is not fully supported by government or private sources. They are part of a fledgling movement to take the idea of crowd-sourcing and crowd-financing, which has worked in arenas like small business and education, to scientific research.

Much like kiva.com, and other microloan organizations, Eureka Fund is seeking to create financial support for scientific research via public donation.
