What are science charities?
Science charities are registered nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose is advancing scientific research, public understanding of science, or access to technology: research institutes, scientific societies, science education groups, and digital inclusion nonprofits. On GiveRadar they form the science and technology category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover.
What do science and technology organizations do?
Science and technology organizations work across the whole span from laboratory research to putting working technology in people's hands. Typical work includes:
- Funding and conducting scientific research outside universities and industry
- Science education and public outreach, from museums to citizen science projects
- Technology access and digital inclusion programs for underserved communities
- Building open source software and public interest technology
- Running scientific societies, conferences, and open publication of research
- Supporting inventors, early-stage innovation, and applied research for public benefit
How to check a science charity before you give
The same rules apply to science charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors, and the most-documented organizations in this category are on the science charities list.
Frequently asked questions
What are science charities?
Science charities are registered nonprofits whose primary work is scientific research, science education, or access to technology, from research institutes and scientific societies to digital inclusion programs. GiveRadar lists them as the science and technology category, filterable by country, with registration details, financials where filed, and an integrity assessment for each.
Are research institutes charities?
Many are: research institutes constituted as nonprofits and registered with their national regulator appear in this category, alongside scientific societies and science education groups. Government laboratories and corporate research are not charities and do not appear here, and medical research charities are usually categorized under health rather than science. Any institute listed here has a profile showing its registration and filings.
