We support organizations worldwide that work to improve the lives of marginalized, isolated, and unserved communities and individuals using astronomy. Where there are no science labs, the astronomy “lab” is overhead and accessible to everyone. Where teachers lack science training, organizations offer guidance and support. Teachers learn alongside students, inspiring inquisitive minds and sparking interest in STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math). Students lacking role models and opportunities in science don’t see a path into science and are quickly discouraged. Marginalized communities become even more isolated from education and improvement as a result.
Astronomy programs touches on all STEM fields. Local programs are often temporary or reach limited audiences so Astronomy for Equity supports sustainability and expansion for existing programs and creates new programs from existing resources throughout the worldwide astronomy community.

Use existing resource and volunteers, both experts and learners. Greater impact with less expense, effort, and waste.

Connect and support the community of dedicated volunteers for greater reach and sustainability.

Most of the world lacks access to any programs. Geography and culture should not be restrictions.
Your support makes our programs possible. With your donation, we can provide telescopes to underserved schools, create accessible astronomy experiences, and share the wonder of the cosmos with people of all abilities.
