Our FOUNDER
As a young boy growing up in the North Maine woods, Scott MacKenzie would wait at the mailbox to see if his latest copy of Scientific American had arrived. His appetite for science and knowledge has always been a part of who he is.
When Scott launched the privately-funded Foundation in 2013, he hoped to support cutting-edge scientific research with the potential to impact humanity. Focused on funding research aimed at curing cancer, lung disease, diabetes and heart disease, the Foundation that bears his name has made great progress toward becoming a cornerstone for scientific research and discovery.
The formation of the Scott R. MacKenzie Foundation is a tribute to his Scottish roots, humble beginnings and love of science.
