Dear , Whether you’ve attended a live event in New York, watched our digital programming, or experienced the magic of our festivals, you know firsthand the power of science to ignite curiosity, spark wonder, and open up new worlds of discovery. Your support has helped us grow and evolve, allowing us to reach new heights in science education, public engagement, and global outreach. Along the way, we’ve achieved some remarkable milestones, including: A continuous production of digital programs, in-person events, and live festivals in New York City and Australia A national PBS broadcast of an original theatrical production, “Light Falls,” garnering a live and digital audience of over 2 million viewers Production of digital courses with over 10 million views Empowering over 300 gifted high school students from 44 countries through our World Science Scholars program Created a live stage show with full orchestra and narrator, Icarus at the Edge of Time, which has been performed 55 times in 31 cities and 13 countries Hundreds of millions of total views of our digital content on YouTube Today’s challenges and opportunities—from illuminating the big bang, to safely harnessing artificial intelligence, to addressing the perils of climate change—highlight both the excitement and the urgent need for science to lead global conversations. This Giving Tuesday, we ask you to consider making a gift. Whether you choose to give a one-time donation or become a recurring donor, your generosity will help us continue to create dynamic programming, foster global engagement, and inspire the next generation of scientific thinkers. And thanks to a generous 1:1 matching grant from the Simons Foundation, your donation will be doubled. Every gift—whether large or small—plays a crucial role in sparking the wonder that leads to discovery. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at our future events! With warm regards, Tracy Day CEO World Science Festival |
