This Giving Season:
A Request for Your Generous Support
As the significance of science, along with its funding, is being diminished, all of us at the Blue Hill Observatory respectfully request your support of our “Annual Fund” to ensure that future generations continue to benefit from scientific research across weather, climate, and the environment at our scientific institution.
Individual contributions are crucial during this season of giving as the Observatory addresses notable financial obstacles We seek to raise $100,000 to strengthen our financial position and sustain our programs.
For tax purposes the Blue Hill Observatory’s nonprofit tax ID is: 22-2517414
Your generosity is essential to sustaining our mission, both now and for generations to come. We thank you for your consideration. Our donation supports maintaining:

- An unbroken and unmatched 140-year record of the weather at the same site with minimal environmental change resulting in historic data that are an essential resource for climate change research and education
- Current daily weather observations from our Chief Observer and monthly and annual scientific analysis from our Chief Scientist provided on the Observatory’s website and direct to our network
- Inspirational climate science and STEM educational programming serving 2,200 youth annually
