01What it does

What Society for the Preservation of Near-Extinct Species does

Mission

The mission of The Society For The Preservation of Near-Extinct Species (the Organization) is to provide scientific information and educational services to the public in the areas of cryobiology and extending the healthy human lifespan. This is achieved through a one-of-a-kind facility inside an underground house. The Organization purchased the property - which was built during the Cold-War era to withstand a nuclear blast - during March 2014. One of the purposes of the property is to exhibit collections of documents and memorabilia in order to preserve its historic significance. As a structure that was built to exist in perpetuity, the house is ideal for storing and exhibiting cryo-preserved biological specimens (including the DNA of near-extinct species), organs for transplant, and other biological tissue. The facility includes a display area, a library and other scientific and educational resources.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.

Program

Public and group tours, classes, lectures, meetings and events to provide information and educational services about cryobiology and related sciences, as well as the historical significance of the property.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
