Support for CASW

CASW's operations and programs are funded by contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals, university sponsorship of the  annual New Horizons in Science briefing and earned income from its investment portfolio. 

Avenues of support include: sustaining memberships and grants. Donations from sustaining members are unrestricted and serve to underwrite operating costs, current programming and the development of new initiatives to meet emerging challenges, Grants are directed at specific projects based on proposals that originate with CASW, not with funders.

Contributions may also be made by way of the Barbara K. Trevett Fund for the Future, a vehicle designed primarily to facilitate individual giving. The fund recognizes its namesake for her strong advocacy on behalf of CASW as well as the science writing community in general during her three-plus decades as a medical and science public affairs specialist for non-profit institutions

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, CASW files Form 990 annually with the IRS. The form, which provides a full account of CASW finances and support base, is available for public viewing at www.guidestar.org.

New Support

With science and technology playing an  ever-increasing role in our daily lives, there is little doubt that the public's dependence on clear, accurate, honest, agenda-free science reporting will only continue to grow.  As will, as a consequence, it's reliance on organizations such as CASW to help produce and maintain the cadre of highly trained science writers required to meet that burgeoning need.   

We ask any and all institutions and individuals who subscribe to these tenets to join with us in our efforts to confront this vitally important challenge -- and at the same time help us navigate our way through today's economic roil.
