Overview
Mission
The Societys mission is to foster the science of causal inference and connect disparate fields that use causal knowledge. SCI will address both the need for better methods and the need to make these methods available to researchers who impact policy helping us all improve our answers to what if questions.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Society for Causal Inference (SCI) is being established as a home for causal inference research that will increase support and knowledge sharing both within the academic community as well as between academics and policy-makers.
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
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
