donate to ActionBioscience.org

The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) and ActionBioscience.org are dedicated to promoting biological knowledge in everyday life to serve science and society. The production, vetting, and dissemination of reliable scientific information, however, require sufficient financial resources to pay for operating and staffing expenses. For its scientific articles on pressing biological issues, for its lesson plans for teachers, for its custom links in each article that help readers learn more and get involved, ActionBioscience.org needs donations to remain an effective tool for promoting bioscience literacy worldwide.

AIBS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations go 100% toward ActionBioscience.org’s direct costs, with no deductions by AIBS for administrative fees or overhead. To view recent AIBS financial statements and tax filings, please see our listing online at GuideStar.
