About Srcco
Srcco’s recent giving is built around large collaborative university research awards in semiconductors and microelectronics. The biggest grants on file go to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, with awards of $11,944,484 in 2024 and $11,915,919 in 2025 for university research. That pattern continues across other major research universities, including The Regents of the University of California San Diego at $7,600,000 in both 2024 and 2025 and The Trustees of the Columbia Univ in NYC at $6,997,558 in 2024 and $6,980,176 in 2025. The scale of the awards shows a funder working through multiyear, project-based commitments rather than small episodic support. The foundation’s grantmaking centers on research that connects academia, industry, and government in semiconductor technology. Recent recipients also include Cornell University, The Pennsylvania State University, and The Board of Trustees of the Univ of IL, each receiving multimillion-dollar support for university research. The recurring pattern across the grant list points to sustained support for research centers, applied R&D, and talent development within the semiconductor ecosystem.
What Srcco Funds
Srcco gives across a tight cluster of semiconductor-related research themes. In microelectronics and advanced packaging, it supported The Regents of the University of California San Diego with $7,600,000 for university research and The Board of Trustees of the Univ of IL with $6,407,419 for university research. Workforce development also appears through undergraduate and student research pathways. The foundation awarded $600,000 to the National Science Foundation for university research, and its active programs include Research Experience for Undergrads and NSF REU partnerships tied to semiconductor sciences. The portfolio also reaches into broader university research in the semiconductor/technology industry. Cornell University received $6,895,103 in 2024 and $6,797,785 in 2025, while The Trustees of the Columbia Univ in NYC received $6,997,558 in 2024 and $6,980,176 in 2025.
