Corporate & Employer Giving

Partner in the Future Barclay Believed In

Corporate and employer giving offers a meaningful way to support the Barclay R. Brown Foundation and help extend Dr. Barclay R. Brown’s legacy of systems thinking, education, innovation and human-centered progress.

Barclay believed that better systems could help create a better world. He also believed in mentoring others, advancing new ideas and bringing people together across disciplines to solve complex problems with clarity, ethics and purpose.

Through corporate gifts, employer matching programs, workplace giving and sponsorship support, organizations can help the foundation fund people, programs, grants and initiatives that reflect Barclay’s lifelong commitment to systems engineering, artificial intelligence, model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, education, research, leadership and public benefit.
