URGENT: Help McCrone Today
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), all McCrone Research Institute programs and operations have been temporarily suspended and we have gone to an on-demand course schedule. Revenue has plummeted and for the first time ever we are asking for your help.
In response to this once-in-a-century crisis, McCrone's leaders are revitalizing and reenvisioning ways in which the Institute will continue to deliver microscopy education, research, and publishing.
Please make a gift today and learn about the McCrone Research Institute COVID-19 Preservation and Relief Fund via the GoFundMe Charity platform.
Your support will preserve McCrone Research Institute and the legacy of Walter and Lucy McCrone for current and future generations of microscopists. Your gift, at any level, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
