Tawani Foundation entered into a major new initiative with the Field Museum in 2008. The Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies will be created at the Field through a $7.3 Million grant from Tawani Foundation. This Institute combines the Field’s existing collection of meteorites with the Planetary Studies Foundation and DuPont collections, allowing the Field Museum to house the world’s fifth largest meteorite collection to be endowed in perpetuity.
