SIMONS FOUNDATION

The Simons Foundation is a charitable organization devoted to scientific research started by renowned mathematician and hedge fund manager Dr. James Simons. In 2008 he gave $60 million to create the Simons Center for Geometry & Physics at State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he had previously taught. Simons was named to BusinessWeek's 2008 list of the 50 Top American Givers, which recognizes the most generous U.S. philanthropists.
