Entomological Foundation Charity Profile

The Entomological Foundation is a national 501 (c)3 not-for-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors made up of representatives from the public and private sectors including academic institutions, government, and business and industry. Our mission is to:Build a Future for Entomology by Educating Young People About Science Through Insects.

The Entomological Foundation develops and implements a blend of programs designed to spark interest in science and insects among elementary school children and to sustain that interest through educational programs and outreach activities; offers scholarships and student awards to recognize excellence and support continued education of students in the area of entomology; and grants professional awards that recognize accomplishments in entomology and related areas.

Reached more than 16,000 K-12 grade students through educational materials, posters, and insect displays given free to educators including homeschools and volunteer leaders to assist in incorporating entomology into their science program.

Provided free insect film events to more than 500 students and adults. These events offer an opportunity for participants to understand the role insects have on our environment and to excite them about entomology. Participants have the opportunity to meet with an entomologist to have their questions answered about insects.

Through our mini-grants program, we have helped to expose more than 3,500 children between the ages of 4-12 and more than 250 educators to the world of insects through experiential learning activities for children and training workshops for educators on how to incorporate insects as teaching tools into a science curriculum.
