Overview

Mission

This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring scientists and improving science education in community. We organize scientists to conduct research with technology, inspire innovative ideas, sponsor international Science Competitions, and coordinate community services.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization is organized for exclusively religious, charitable, educational and scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue Law, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under said Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Specifically, the Organization will provide charitable giving to schools. SCI2 CORP has recently been established as a non-profit corporation to benefit Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activites in the Jericho community. Our flagship program here at the SCI2 is Science competetion. Science competetion strives to bring science to life, to show how science works, and to emphasize problem solving aspects of science and the understanding of science concepts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
