Overview

Mission

We build and deploy tools for science education and environmental monitoring.

What it reported doing in 2025

We work on projects involving environmental sensing and science education. We had an insurance refund from a prior air quality project. Upon shutdown, we transferred our remaining funds to a pair of nonprofits focused on hands-on education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
