How Kernls moves scientific research forward

We pair Researchers with donors who support projects by sharing them and matching donations.

Donor

Fund science directly

Donors browse research projects and support those they believe will have the greatest impact.

Explore Projects
We pair Researchers with donors who support projects by sharing them and matching donations.

Champion

Double your impact

Champions double donations on research they care about and share the project with their network.

Learn about being a Champion
We pair Researchers with donors who support projects by sharing them and matching donations.

Researcher

Make research accessible

Researchers share the potential impact of their work and tap into a community of motivated donors.

For researchers

Champion research you care about

Take a more active role in supporting research

Kernls matches motivated donors we call Champions with scientific researchers who need funding.

Champions have often had first-hand experience with an illness and want to drive awareness and giving by sharing the projects with their network and/or matching donations.
