Mission

A SOCIAL IMPACT NON-PROFIT, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SERVES PURPOSE-DRIVEN LEADERS THROUGH A SPONSORED SPACEFLIGHT EXPERIENCE TO CREATE A PROFOUND SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE, SO THAT EACH CITIZEN ASTRONAUT RETURNS WITH A GRANDER PERSPECTIVE TO ADDRESS OUR MOST INTRACTABLE CHALLENGES AND THEIR SOLUTIONS.

  • CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM OVERVIEW SPACE FOR HUMANITY BELIEVES THAT SEEING EARTH FROM SPACE CAN CHANGE HOW PEOPLE THINK, LEAD, AND ACT. THIS POWERFUL SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVEKNOWN AS THE OVERVIEW EFFECTHAS INSPIRED ASTRONAUTS TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE ON EARTH. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE, SO IT CAN BENEFIT HUMANITY AND OUR PLANET. THROUGH THE WORLDS FIRST CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM, WE SPONSOR EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE TO PARTICIPATE IN A SPACEFLIGHT EXPERIENCE. THE PROGRAM IS OPEN TO APPLICANTS WORLDWIDE. OUR LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND IMPACT (LCDI) PROGRAM PREPARES PARTICIPANTS BEFORE THEIR FLIGHT, SUPPORTS THEM AS THEY PROCESS THE EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINS THEM AFTER THEY RETURN. CITIZEN ASTRONAUTS LEARN HOW TO TURN THEIR SPACEFLIGHT PERSPECTIVE INTO MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY ON EARTH. IN 2022, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORED TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPLETED THE PROGRAM AND SUCCESSFULLY TRAVELED TO SPACE.

  • THE INCLUSION COUNCIL SPACE FOR HUMANITY IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO INCLUSION ACROSS ALL OF HUMANITY. OUR INCLUSION COUNCIL BRINGS TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF LEADERS WHO HELP GUIDE EQUITABLE PRACTICES ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM. IN 2025, WE EVOLVED THE STRUCTURE OF THE INCLUSION COUNCIL TO BE MORE ACTION-ORIENTED. EACH YEAR, COUNCIL MEMBERS WORK COLLABORATIVELY ON DEFINED PROJECTS OVER A FULL CALENDAR YEAR, PRODUCING REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT DIRECTLY INFORM OUR PROGRAMS AND DECISION-MAKING. PROJECTS IN 2025 INCLUDE AN AUDIT ON RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION FOR THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM AND AN INTERNAL DEI AUDIT OF OUR ORGANIZATION HELPING ENSURE OUR WORK REFLECTS BEST PRACTICES IN EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY. ALSO IN 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORED UNIVERSAL INCLUSION, A PODCAST DEDICATED TO AMPLIFYING DIVERSE VOICES ACROSS THE SPACE SECTOR.

  • AMBASSADOR PROGRAM OVERVIEW IN 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY LAUNCHED THE OVERVIEW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS ARE ASTRONAUTS WHO HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE OVERVIEW EFFECT THROUGH THEIR OWN SPACEFLIGHT. THEY SERVE AS ADVOCATES FOR SPACE FOR HUMANITYS MISSION BY SHARING THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON SPACE TRAVEL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE OVERVIEW EFFECT FOR MORE PEOPLE. OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS HELP AMPLIFY THE MESSAGE OF WHY CITIZEN ACCESS TO SPACE MATTERS AND HOW THE OVERVIEW EFFECT CAN INSPIRE POSITIVE CHANGE ON EARTH. THIS PROGRAM IS DISTINCT FROM THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM. WHILE SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORS AND PREPARES PARTICIPANTS FOR SPACEFLIGHT THROUGH THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT COORDINATE OR SPONSOR THE SPACEFLIGHTS OF OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS. AS OF 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY HAS WELCOMED FOUR EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUALS INTO THE OVERVIEW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
