Support the foundation
Online giving is not open yet
Mary Astronomy Foundation is being established. It is not a registered charity, it does not hold 501(c)(3) recognition, and contributions are not tax deductible. No payment provider is connected, so nothing on this page can take a payment today.
General support
Goes wherever it is needed most: equipment, site running costs, connectivity and storage.
Online giving is not open yet. Write to info@maryastronomy.com and we will tell you how to help.
Sponsor an observing session
Covers the running cost of one observing session for someone who could not otherwise book one.
We have not set a session cost yet, because we have not run enough sessions to know what one costs. This will open once we do.
Donate a telescope
Fund a complete instrument at a new or existing site. This is a conversation, not a checkout.
Telescope donations are handled personally. Send us an enquiry and we will reply with what is involved.
What your support pays for
Telescope time is free to the people who use it. It is not free to provide. Support covers the telescope itself, the computer at the site that drives it, connectivity, electricity, and the storage that holds everyone's images until they download them.
Before you give
Mary Astronomy Foundation is being established. We are not a registered charity, we do not have 501(c)(3) recognition, and contributions are not tax deductible. If tax deductibility matters to you, please wait until we can tell you otherwise.
We have not connected a payment provider yet, so nothing on this page can take your money today. When that changes, this page will say so.
Start the conversation
Funding or offering a complete instrument is a conversation about where it goes, who looks after it and what it will be used for.
