We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To promote the advancement of science and encourage public interest in and understanding of the sciences. Since 1856, the Academy of Science of St Louis has been a leader in the advancement and integration of science technology into contemporary society. Academy resources are entirely mission focused on expanded scientific outreach, education, resource sharing, and the recognition of scientific accomplishment.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Academy seeks to advance the public understanding of science and promote interest in the sciences to students and adults through accessible year-round seminars and educational initiatives.

  • Academy of Science St Louis Science Fair. For more than 60 years, the Science Fair has been an amazing catalyst for students in kindergarten through high school. Under the leadership of the Academy, hundreds of educators, scientists, and science advocates work year round to bring science inquiry to life for students in the St Louis area. The Academy utilizes the services of hundreds of volunteers in areas such as judging projects and overall fair leadership. School districts select their top student projects and submit them to the fair. In 2024, more than 850 students in public, private, parochial, and home-school students from 73 schools submitted projects representing the top 3% of science projects in the St Louis regions. Top winners receive scholarships and other educational awards.

    Expenses $157,867 · Grants $28,040

  • Speakers for Science program. The Speakers for Science Series provides scientists and professionals who speak on engineering, science, and technology related topics to area civic groups, community organizations and schools. Each year, thousands of students and life-long learners are inspired, enlightened and enthralled by unique opportunities to connect with scientists through live forums. Volunteer speakers present topics as varied as plant science, archaeology, genetics, DNA, and unmanned spacecraft. Each year brings requests for experts on newly emerging areas of science or topical issues generating public interest.

    Expenses $129,392

  • STEM Programs. The Academy collaborates with school districts to present career explorations and science career forums for the critical middle-school age groups. The STEM Careers Explorations programming includes experiences, field trips and tours. The Junior Academy of Science program is for middle and high school students from public, private, and home schools across the regions where they can experience hands-on opportunities in science, engineering, and medicine. Corporations, science organizations, and universities open their labs and research areas to these teens at a critical time...when they are laying the science and technology paths for their future. Through these experiences, Junior Academy members realize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to discovery and a strong early grounding in math and science. Recognizing that each child has potential, Junior Academy membership is open and available to all middle and high school students in the area and offers challenging and engaging science opportunities and competitions for a full range of academic levels.

    Expenses $151,395

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.

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.
