As humans, we have the remarkable ability to work together on a global scale.

Whether you want to run an online fundraiser or a marathon, you can start a fundraiser for science today! As a small nonprofit with limited fundraising resources, we appreciate your help.

how it works

Starting a fundraiser is simple

Set up your fundraiser

The money you raise will directly fund the program you select. If you choose to support our general mission, the proceeds of your fundraiser will support all of our programs.

Spread the word


Once your campaign is set up, you can start sharing it immediately. Tell your friends and family, share it on social media. You can even generate a QR code and print fliers for your neighborhood coffee shop.

See your impact


We’ll send thank you emails to all of your donors and when your fundraiser is finished, we’ll report back to you and all of your supporters about the impact of your campaign.
