Our Philanthropy
The goal of our philanthropy from our unrestricted revenue is to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem of practice around civic science journalism, recognizing it as a critical tool for supporting scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who are working to connect the scientific enterprise with local communities through public engagement with science, science communication, science outreach, citizen science, science policy, and other civic science fields.
Our core belief is that by working together, we can strengthen the practice of civic science journalism, ensuring it is independent and accessible. Our strategy is to make grassroots contributions through sustainer-giving programs in nonprofit civic science initiatives that align with our goals. The aim is to inspire a ripple effect of support.
