LSST is a public-private partnership. Design and development activity is supported in part by the National Science Foundation. Additional funding comes from private foundation gifts, grants to universities, and in-kind support of Department of Energy laboratories and other LSST Member Institutions. The project is overseen by the LSST Corporation, a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation formed in 2003, with headquarters in Tucson, AZ.
