The National Marine Life Center rehabilitates and releases stranded marine mammals and sea turtles in order to advance science and education in marine wildlife health and conservation.

It is the purpose of the Nature Center to foster an appreciation for nature and to promote a sustainable future by nurturing individuals through environmental education, providing leadership in land protection and restoration, and encouraging responsible interaction with nature.

The Center for Coastal Studies conducts scientific research with emphasis on marine mammals of the western North Atlantic and on the coastal and marine habitats and resources of the Gulf of Maine. We promote stewardship of coastal and marine ecosystems and conduct educational activities that encourage responsible use and conservation. We collaborate with other institutions and individuals whenever possible to advance our mission.

The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (CSLDF) protects the scientific endeavor by putting its legal expertise to work for scientists who are threatened or silenced due to their findings or fields of study. Our work preserves and expands scientists’ rights and strengthens the legal protections that promote scientific integrity.We do this by:- Offering free legal aid to scientists- Educating researchers about their rights and responsibilities- Sharing strategies and information about cases with attorneys- Publicizing attacks on science

TO ADDRESS GEOLOGIC ASPECTS OF ISSUES DEALING WITH THE WORLD'S CHANGING ENERGY CHALLENGES, USES, SAFETY, POLICIES AND ASSOCIATED ENVIRONMENTAL QUESTIONS. TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOLOGIC MAPS, CROSS SECTIONS, AND OTHER GEOLOGIC DATA & INTERPRETATIONS. TO ASSIST AND ADVISE VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES WITH INSTRUCTION AND SHARING GEOLOGIC DATA SETS AND INTERPREATIONS. TO PRESERVE GEOLOGIC MAPS AND CROSS SECTIONS, DIGITIZING THEM SO THAT THEY CAN BE PRESERVED IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) FILES AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA THE FOUNDATION'S WEB SITE.

In the aftermath of the Challenger accident, the crew’s families came together, firmly committed to the belief that they must carry on the spirit of their loved ones by continuing the Challenger crew’s educational mission. Their efforts resulted in the creation of Challenger Center for Space Science Education. Challenger Center and its global network of Challenger learning centers use space-themed simulated learning and role-playing strategies to help students bring their classroom studies to life and cultivate skills needed for future success, such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork. A not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education organization, Challenger Center reaches hundreds of thousands of students, and tens of thousands of teachers every year. Challenger Center relies on donations from private individuals and corporations to create mission content, deliver quality education experiences, build unique simulation centers, incorporate new technology, train educators and engage students in robust learning projects. Your donation today helps us to continue to ignite inspiration and imagination in students around the globe! If we’re doing all of this now, imagine what we can do with your help! mission: engage students and teachers in dynamic, hands-on exploration and discovery opportunities that strengthen knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), inspire students to pursue careers in these fields, and provide an outlet to learn and apply important life skills. vision: build a scientifically literate public and shape our future leaders to help improve quality of life across the globe – not just through pragmatic teaching, but also by the power of vision, inspiration, and innovation.

Turn on the science: inspire learning. Inform policy. Improve lives.

Founded in 2001, Action for Cheetahs in Kenya has helped stabilize endangered cheetah populations in East Africa through research, education, and community development. Our mission is to promote the conservation of cheetahs and improve livelihoods of people impacted by carnivores. We are the only cheetah conservation organization focused on conserving cheetah populations outside the bounds of national parks and protected areas. We function as a project under the US-based non-profit organization, Project Survival.

TOGETHER, WE CAN FIGHT TO ERASE EXTINCTION. Conservation Nation funds Smithsonian scientists' research to save threatened species in the wild. But, we do much more than that. We're a nation of supporters, including you, that are passionate about wildlife conservation in North America and around the world. F/K/A Friends of the National Zoo

SARSEF: Southern Arizona Research, Science and Engineering Foundation creates the next generation of critical thinkers and problem solvers through STEM. Each year we reach 95,000 K-12 students across Southern Arizona.

The Mission of TECH CORPS' is three-fold and is achieved through: • PROGRAMS Bringing additional technology resources to K-12 students and teachers through national, state and local programs such as Computing Career Corps, E4Tech, High School Coding Camp, Student Code Corps, Student TECH CORPS, Student WEB CORPS, Techie Camp, and Techie Club. • PEOPLE Recruiting and supporting tech-savvy volunteers from the community to advise and assist schools and youth-serving nonprofit organizations in the integration of new technologies. • PARTNERS Increasing educational technology resources through partnerships with education, business, government and community.
