“We support a lot of non-profits on the island, but MDI Biological Laboratory goes out of their way to make us and the community feel welcome. We believe in the critical importance of basic research and appreciate the community outreach they do. We feel like a part of the MDIBL family and making a planned gift was a way for us to connect beyond our selves.” – Allan Kleinman, MDIBL Volunteer

The MDI Biological Laboratory is here today because of the forward-thinking gift of one donor more than 125 years ago: a bequest of ¼ acre of land. The John S. Kingsley Society, named for the MDI Biological Laboratory’s founder John Sterling Kingsley, recognizes the outstanding generosity of those who have made legacy gifts to the Laboratory. You and our John S. Kingsley Society members are the foundation upon which MDIBL is built – and are at the very core of our mission. Without you, our work is not possible.
