Donors
The important work done by the Ethics Center is, in part, made possible by the generous financial support of its donors.
"I give to the Markkula Center because the return it offers is of tremendous value to so many. In today’s ever-changing landscape, the Ethics Center remains a constant on which we can all rely to work through issues large or small, regardless of subject matter, using its timeless ethical decision-making framework. The Markkula Center exists for everyone’s use—by students, in government, corporate and nonprofit settings to help us resolve issues and make well-reasoned decisions. We all make decisions and can benefit from the problem-solving tools offered by the Center. Through its programs and outreach, the Center is that voice which reminds us of the value of critical and independent thinking that can withstand scrutiny because of its strong ethical foundation. With continued support, the sphere of influence of the Markkula Center will expand to the point where it becomes top of mind as the resource to be consulted in working through issues, locally or globally, wherever its work is needed.”
Risë Jones Pichon
"We live in the best of times. Life expectancy, technology, communications, transportation, and gross national products are at an all time best. But we also live among the worst of times. Loss of trust in our institutions, inequity, environmental damage, violence, irrationality, and hatred are growing. Applied ethics, as uniquely taught and championed by the Markkula Center, can create the balance needed to retain the best while increasing trust, equity, care for the environment, rationality, human decency, and tolerance."
Dick Levy
“I think the legacy of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics is to stay relevant as an academic institution, and to continue to foster the morals and ethical values in the real world, for which we feel privileged to help the Center have a capacity and resource to make a difference.”
