As you’ve heard, NASA’s sequestration is causing a serious impact to the funding of worthy projects. As our staff and board of advisors is made up largely of active, working scientists, we’re directly impacted.

Private and commercial funding of space-based initiatives is more important than ever. That’s the purpose of The Uwingu Fund, and why we encourage you to participate with us, adding names to our database and voting on your favorites.

But you, as a private citizen of the Earth, can do much more. Personal funding directly to the initiatives you support can and does make a great impact. It keeps scientists employed. It keeps research happening. It keeps our entire species looking forward.
