The Allen Telescope Array refurbishment program and its ongoing operations are being substantially funded through the Franklin Antonio Bequest. Additional contributions from Frank Levinson, Greg Papadopoulos, the Breakthrough Listen Initiative and other private donors have been instrumental in the renewal of the ATA. Breakthrough Listen is managed by the Breakthrough Initiatives, sponsored by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation provided major support for the design and construction of the ATA, alongside contributions from Nathan Myhrvold, Xilinx Corporation, Sun Microsystems, and other private donors. The ATA has also been supported by contributions from the US Naval Observatory and the US National Science Foundation.
