PASADENA, Calif.--Gordon Moore, co-founder of computer chipmaker Intel, is donating $600 million to the California Institute of Technology, the largest gift ever made to a single American school.
Caltech will receive $300 million from Moore and his wife, Betty, and another $300 million from the foundation that bears their names.
The Moores announced the gifts at the Caltech Board of Trustees meeting this weekend.
Moore, 72, was chief executive officer at Intel from 1975 to 1987 and was chairman until 1997. He received a Ph.D. in chemistry from Caltech in 1954.
"This will allow us to realize research dreams, to maintain our greatness in the main areas in which we are preeminent and to provide a special Caltech education for generations of students to come," said Caltech President and Nobel laureate David Baltimore.
The foundation's grant of $300 million will be dispensed over a 10-year period, while the Moores' $300 million gift will be meted out over five years. The funds are for educational and scientific programs to be mutually agreed upon. |
