SUPPORTING THE FOUNDATION
The Earth and Space Foundation supports important scientific research around the world. Expeditions we have supported have used space technology to protect rainforests, coral reefs, and other natural resources. Other expeditions have studied life in extreme environments so we can better understand distant worlds and their potential to support life, eventually human life.
This work is vital to the dual challenges of preserving Earth and exploring space. The Foundation is working toward a future in which Earth remains an oasis in space cared for by space-faring civilization.
To help achieve this goal, we need your help. The Foundation is a private organization that receives no support from governments. We rely entirely upon the generosity of individuals and corporate benefactors to continue the vital work that we have started.
The Foundation is a registered charity in the United Kingdom (No. 1043871). Donations can be tax deductible.
All contributions are placed into a Schroders UK-managed non-profit endowment fund, which directly supports our activities. All operating funds are managed in a National Westminster Bank account in the charity’s name. In any given year, 2% or less of income is spent on administration (including postage and stationery). The Foundation has no funded employees and is run purely on a voluntary basis. The charity submits annual returns to the UK Charity Commission.
How You Can Help
Any amount, however small, is welcomed. There are two ways you can support the Foundation’s vital mission.
Make an Online Donation: You can contribute through Every Click, a properly verified non-profit donation site to which we are a member. Their secure web site will allow you to make a contribution through credit card or bank account. Donate today to help us with our important mission. The link is provided below.
Set Up an Award in your Name: Individual or corporate benefactors can establish specific awards. This is an excellent way to have one’s name attached to the contribution each year. The benefactor may define the terms of the award. Typically a $15,000 or £15,000 donation will generate a $1,000 or £1,000 award each year.
Benefactors might also consider making a named contribution to the Foundation’s long-term Mars and Lunar Exploration Awards, which will recognise future human exploration of the Moon and the Red Planet. This is maintained as a separate endowment fund.
To establish an award in your name, contact us. All discussions with potential donors are kept in the strictest confidence.
