Why Your Support Matters

At ICDC, we’re driven by a simple belief: every child deserves to benefit from cutting-edge developmental science.

Our work provides an evidence-based foundation for parents, educators, and policymakers working to support children every day.

But infant research is expensive. And funding is shrinking.

We need visionary donors to keep this work moving forward.

As a donor, you can choose to:

  • Support a research initiative that aligns with your priorities
  • Sponsor a fellowship to support the next generation of developmental scientists
  • Expand our outreach to parents, teachers, service providers and policy-makers

We welcome donations of any size. Gifts can be named in your honor, or in honor of someone you love.

We love ICDC! Our baby gets to be a small part of cutting-edge science to help other children and families.
