The Science Haven™ is Now a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit!

Celebrating
a New Milestone

We are overjoyed to share some truly exhilarating news with our cherished community. The Science Haven™ has officially been granted 501(c)(3) status! This significant milestone is a testament to the unwavering commitment and support from each one of you.

For those who might not be familiar, a 501(c)(3) is a tax-exempt non-profit organization in the United States that the IRS categorizes as charitable, religious, educational, or scientific. Achieving this status is an arduous, stringent process, making it a noteworthy accomplishment for any non-profit entity.

What does this mean for The Science Haven™ and our wonderful community of science enthusiasts?

Expansion of Funding and Support

With our new 501(c)(3) status, we are now eligible to apply for government and private grants that were previously beyond our reach. This presents a world of opportunities to secure essential funding, allowing us to broaden our programs and engage more science lovers.

Tax Benefits for Donations

Donations made to The Science Haven™ are now tax-deductible. This not only provides an additional incentive for individuals and corporations to support our mission but also makes every contribution go even further in helping us make science accessible and intriguing for all.

A Pledge of Our Dedication

Achieving 501(c)(3) status underscores our dedication to our mission. It reinforces our pledge to operate with the utmost integrity, ensuring that our resources are used effectively to advance public engagment with science.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has joined us on this journey thus far.
