2025 End of Year Giving Campaign

2025 was a whirlwind for nonprofit fundraising! From the continuously evolving federal funding landscape, to massive changes in our state line-item appropriation, to tweaks in the tax code that'll affect individual giving in the coming years, it's a lot for a small nonprofit to keep track of!

However, we are a small nonprofit with big ambitions: To foster lifelong curiosity and passion for science through informal, collaborative, and interdisciplinary learning. This mission includes learners of all ages from West Virginia, the United States, and beyond! Thank you to those who have already given during this holiday season. For those of you who haven't yet:

Will you join us and set up a recurring donation so future participants always have a free spot available to get excited about STEM?

Most of you reading this have likely already been affected by our programming and that's why you're here in the first place. If so, we encourage you to pay it forward to make sure our programming can remain free for participants in 2026. For others, whatever brought you here, know that we are so grateful for your interest and support. We invite you to become a part of a storied group of alumni and supporters who make these programs possible.

"Better than anything you’d expect. Every day felt like an adventure, and every person brought something new to the experience.” - Reflection from a 2025 National Youth Science Camp delegate

Your gift will go directly towards providing these amazing and transformative experiences for our delegates, staff, and visitors. And from all of us at the Academy: THANK YOU!
