The Academy of Natural Sciences is dedicated to understanding the natural world and inspiring everyone to care for it. Your support cares for our collection of 19 million scientific specimens, sends our scientists around the globe to research our rapidly changing planet and connects our community to the natural world. 

Academy scientists are finding real-world solutions to our most pressing environmental issues. Your support sustains vital scientific research on climate change, evolution, water resources, biodiversity and extinction.
