The Gruber Science Fellowship program provides annual fellowships to Yale University graduate students studying and conducting research in the basic life sciences, as well as in cosmology and astrophysics. The Foundation provided grants of $4,530,349 to Yale University of which $1,200,000 supported the Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women's Rights and $3,330,349 supported the Gruber Science Fellowship program. In addition, $183,000 of fellowships and other grants were paid during the fiscal year. 7156301 true false false false false false false false true false true false true true false false true false false true true true false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 17 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 2 true false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X Elizabeth Bilodeau 2034325530 c/o Yale Univ 150 Munson Street New Haven CT 06511 Steven Wilkinson President and Director 0.2 50.0 X X 0 596162 74422 B Waring Partridge Director 0.2 0.0 X 0 0 0 Joan E O'Neill Director 0.2 51.0 X 0 817363 75238 Patricia Gruber Director 0.2 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peter Salovey Director 0.2 52.0 X 0 2335529 117813 Elizabeth Bilodeau VP, Treasurer, and Secretary 0.2 50.0 X 0 190807 24930 Benjamin Polak Former President and Director 0.0 50.0 X 0 496033 63802 Pericles Lewis Former President and Director 0.0 50.0 X 0 539793 127151 0 4975687 483356 0 true true false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6722625 6722625 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6722625 0 0 6722625 4832349 4832349 1300000 1300000 581000 581000 345276 249494 95782 0 7009 7009 2708 1896 812 41591 29114 12477 104114 103609 505 29786 29786 Videography 13070 13070 Medals 8974 8974 0 0 0 0 7265877 7156301 109576 0 645478 103445 566385 343652 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 139123464 140160900 0 83515361 89741309 223850688 230349306 466 1685 0 0 680957 453972 681423 455657 X 223169265 229893649 223169265 229893649 223850688 230349306 X -543252 7040651 226985 X false false false X X X 1 Yale University 060646973 2 true 4530349 0 1 4530349 0 true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 6 Support to other supported orgs In accordance with its organization documents and as described in its exemption application, the gruber foundation supports the mission of Yale University by administering the gruber prize program which honors and encourages educational excellence and scientific achievements through awarding international prizes to renowned scientists, and the gruber young scientists awards to outstanding young scientists to honor exceptional achievements and encourage future advances in basic scientific research.

A portion of this benefit vested in 2023 and is reflected in Schedule J, Part II, Column (B)(III). Schedule J, Part I Lines 1-3 BECAUSE THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS DO NOT RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION FROM THE GRUBER FOUNDATION, LINES 1-3 WERE LEFT BLANK. Schedule J, Part II, Column (F) Compensation reported in prior form 990 This amount is also included in Column (E). It is, therefore, double reported in part II and does not represent additional compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15 The officers and directors are not compensated by the Gruber Foundation. All compensation reported on Part VII pertains to officers and directors compensated by Yale University (a supported organization). Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Three of the voting members of the governing body of The Gruber Foundation are employees of Yale University (EIN 06-0646973), a supported organization of the Gruber Foundation, and receive compensation for their services as employees of Yale University. These individuals are not paid for their services as voting members of The Gruber Foundation. Form 990, Part VI, Line 2 Family/Business Relationships amongst interested persons Peter Salovey and Joan E. O'Neill have a business relationship because of their positions as officers of Yale University, a supported organization. Each has a business relationship with the following individuals as a result of their Yale University employment: Elizabeth Bilodeau, Steven Wilkinson. Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body Pursuant to the by-laws, during the period commencing with the incorporation of the Corporation, and ending when there are no longer any Gruber Members, there shall be five directors to the Board of Directors. Yale University appoints three of those directors, and the remaining two directors are specifically-named Gruber Members. At all times during the period when there are Gruber Members serving on the Board, Yale University appoints a majority of the Board (three directors), and the Gruber Members serve as a minority of the Board (two directors). Once either of these named gruber members ceases to serve on the Board, the remaining Gruber Member may appoint a past recipient of the Gruber Prize to fill the vacant Gruber Member Director's position. No Gruber Members serve on the Board once the remaining Gruber Member ceases to serve, and from that point on, Yale University appoints the entire Board. The Gruber Members are not given any other voting rights under the By-laws, except to appoint a past recipient of the Gruber Prize to fill the first Gruber director position that is vacated by a gruber member. Moreover, the by-laws can only be amended by a majority vote of the board with Yale's prior consent and approval. The vote of two Yale-appointed directors is required to constitute any action taken by the board. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 is prepared by Yale University, a supported organization of the Gruber Foundation, and reviewed by an officer and the executive director of the Gruber Foundation prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The Gruber Foundation conflict of interest policy obligates each current and covered former director, officer, and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers to promptly disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest as defined in the policy. Each such person must sign a statement annually affirming that he or she has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, has read and understands the policy, agrees to comply with the policy, and understands that The Gruber Foundation is a charitable organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. In connection with any actual or potential conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her potential conflict and all material facts to the directors and members of the committee with governing board delegated powers considering the prospective transaction or arrangement to determine if a conflict of interest exists. After disclosure of a potential conflict of interest, the interested person is excused from the governing board meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is made and is recused from participating in any vote on the matter. THE REMAINING BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHALL DECIDE IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The organization's governing documents, including any amendments, and financial statements, to the extent provided as part of its exemption application or annual form 990, are available to the public upon request. The organization's annual report is available on its website. The conflict of interest policy is not currently made available to the public. Form 990, Part VII, Section A Columns (A) and (B) The individuals listed in Part VII, with compensation reported in column (E), received compensation from Yale University, a supported organization, for their services to Yale University. The estimated average hours per week devoted to Yale University by each of these employees is 50, though in many cases the actual average hours per week for listed persons exceeded this estimate.
