LSST Corporation
The effort to build the LSST is led by the LSST Corporation, a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation formed in 2003, with headquarters in Tucson, AZ. Financial support for LSST comes from the National Science Foundation with additional contributions from private foundation gifts, grants to universities, and in-kind support from Department of Energy laboratories and other LSST Member Institutions. In 2011, the LSST construction project was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). Our offices are on the 5th floor of the Steward Observatory Building on the University of Arizona Campus.
