Hopkins Bloomberg Center
Where discovery meets democracy
Inspiring conversations, ideas, and research
You can make a difference.
A gift to the Hopkins Bloomberg Center—a site steeped in America’s history, that links all three branches of the federal government, and brings 150 years of Johns Hopkins research and discovery to the heart of our nation’s democracy—is an opportunity to support programming that promotes civic discourse to strengthen public institutions, and informs public policy through evidence-based insights.
Thank you for your consideration.
