Support for CASW

CASW's operations and programs are funded by contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals, university sponsorship of the  annual New Horizons in Science briefing and earned income from its investment portfolio. 

There are two avenues of support: sustaining membership and grants. Donations from sustaining members are unrestricted and serve to underwrite operating costs, current programming and the development of new initiatives to meet emerging challenges, Grants are directed at specific projects based on proposals that originate with CASW, not with funders.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, CASW files Form 990 annually with the IRS. The form, which provides a full account of CASW finances and support base, is available for public viewing at www.guidestar.org.

Current Contributors

CASW wishes express its gratitude to a recent contributor, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, for two decades of staunch support that went a  long way toward advancing our critical mission.


New Support

With science and technology playing an  ever-increasing role in our daily lives, there is little doubt that the public's dependence on clear, accurate, honest, agenda-free science reporting will only continue to grow.  As will, as a consequence, it's reliance on organizations such as CASW to help produce and maintain the cadre of highly trained science writers required to meet that burgeoning need.  

We ask any and all institutions and individuals who subscribe to these tenets to join with us in our efforts to confront this vitally important challenge -- and at the same time help us navigate our way through today's economic roil.
