The Dana Foundation

Foundations shape how research reaches the public, and The Dana Foundation focuses on neuroscience and its broader impact. Based at 1270 6th Ave on the 12th floor, it funds studies, publishes reports, and hosts events that bridge brain science with everyday understanding. The work often explores education, ethics, and public health, offering resources that extend beyond academic circles. Midtown’s steady flow of professionals and institutions creates a fitting backdrop for conversations that start here and ripple outward.

Those curious about upcoming programs or publications can reach the office at (212) 223-4040. Directions to the building are straightforward via the map, which also helps navigate the area’s mix of corporate towers and smaller storefronts. If you’re walking from the subway, the avenue’s wide sidewalks make the trip feel less hurried than some nearby blocks.
