The Kovalevskaia Fund is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to support and encourage women in developing countries in science, mathematics, engineering, and medicine. It was founded in 1985, and was originally aimed at promoting women in the sciences in Vietnam; it grew out of Ana's work on the history of women and science and Neal's experience in the opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War, and their efforts to help promote science in Vietnam afterwards. For the first grants were made solely in Vietnam, but were eventually extended to six other developing countries.
