The Worldwide Protein Data Bank Foundation supports the outreach activities of the wwPDB, including workshops, symposia, and advisory meetings.
The wwPDB Foundation was established in 2010 to raise funds in support of the outreach activities of the wwPDB. The Foundation has raised funds to help support events celebrating PDB's 50th anniversary; workshops; and educational publications.
The Foundation is actively seeking support. In addition to assessing the impact of PDB, outreach activities will be forward-looking, imagining new ways the PDB can help scientists solve manifestly important problems in biomedicine and bioengineering in the next half-century.
The Foundation is chartered as a 501(c)(3) entity exclusively for scientific, literary, charitable, and educational purposes.
Individual and institutional donations are critical for future wwPDB outreach efforts.
The wwPDB Foundation is also a beneficiary of the PayPal Giving Fund which covers transaction fees.

Since 1971, the Protein Data Bank archive (PDB) has served as the single repository of information about the 3D structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies.
The Worldwide PDB (wwPDB) organization manages the PDB archive and ensures that the PDB is freely and publicly available to the global community.
wwPDB data centers serve as deposition, annotation, and distribution sites of the PDB archive. Each site offers tools for searching, visualizing, and analyzing PDB data.
