Ways to Give

Every gift for the Bulletin programs and operations is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law--and supports a 501 (c) (3) education organization that is a vital information exchange for scientists, policy makers, and citizens concerned about risks from nuclear materials, climate change, and engineered biological agents.

General Operating Gifts

Cash or authorized credit: Contributions can be made online through our secure portal or by sending a check or credit authorization to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 77 W. Washington St., Suite 2120, Chicago, IL 60602.

Property or securities: Non-cash contributions are easy to arrange in consultation with the Bulletin's Development Office. Guidance is also available on the transfer process and our fiscal agents.

Bequests: Including the Bulletin in your estate plans could help sustain the organization well beyond your lifetime. The Development Office can provide information about bequest gifts of cash, property transfers, or estate remainder percentages to be reviewed with your family and financial advisors.

Directed Gifts

Donors who are making contributions of $5,000 or more may direct their gifts to support the Bulletin's general operations or to focus on the Bulletin's content areas (nuclear weapons, climate change, nuclear energy, biosecurity, and the Doomsday Clock). Gifts are typically allocated within 12-24 months of receipt to strengthen the Bulletin's publishing and communications capacity or to enhance coverage and content distribution on a specific topic.

Additional guidance on directed giving, including recognition opportunities for major special purpose contributions, is available by contacting the Development Office. Donors can make a significant difference in our ability to recruit topflight authors, build out content, and boost distribution to increase the reach and impact of the material we publish.

Endowed Gifts

The Bulletin welcomes contributions to two distinct endowments, which honor two individuals who were deeply involved in the Bulletin's origins and history:

• The Leonard M. Rieser Fellowship Endowment supports undergraduate fellowships to conduct research at the intersection of science, technology, and international security.
• The Ruth Adams Fund for emerging global security issues supports communications professionals—writers, web editors, and documentary film producers—who demonstrate the capacity to translate complex issues of peace and security into everyday language and images for the Bulletin.
