What Uncertainty Quantification Foundation does
Mission
To advance the field of Predictive Science through research and education, to broaden the application and study of uncertainty quantification (UQ), and support the development and dissemination of advanced tools, technologies, and methodologies for UQ
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - Our Research & Development program is currently the primary avenue through which we work to advance the field of Predictive Science and support the development and dissemination of advanced tools, technologies, and methodologies for Uncertainty Quantification. Our objective in this program is to work on the leading edge of scientific research in predictive science, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, and artificial intelligence by conducting and supporting fundamental research as well as developing leading edge open source software that is free and available for all to use. In 2024 we released 25 updates to our various open-source software packages, and added a new software package, pox, to our free, open-source library. Finally, we have integrated new capabilities into our software that has been developed through our fundamental research. Release and development versions of the software are publicly available for all to use, free of charge, through the Python Package Index, and our GitHub page.
$0 spent0% of program spendingEDUCATION PROGRAM - During the course of 2024 Uncertainty Quantification Foundation (UQF) made significant strides in the development of our Education Program, working to build the infrastructure required to deliver live, virtual, instructor-led classes, workshops, and courses covering subjects in machine learning, data science, uncertainty quantification, and artificial intelligence. With the internal work that was completed in 2024, UQF expects to launch our Education Program to the general public in Q4FY2025. This programming will run from an introduction to scientific programming up through advanced topics including optimal learning and artificial intelligence, however, we have structured the curriculum so that this programming will be accessible to anyone with a familiarity with computer programming and basic statistics.
$0 spent0% of program spendingADVISORY SERVICES PROGRAM - Through our Advisory Services program the Uncertainty Quantification Foundation works to broaden the application of uncertainty quantification (UQ) across many sectors of industry and government, working with organizations to provide scientific and technical expertise on their projects. We believe that by demonstrating the value of uncertainty qualification through these services, we can create an increased demand for practitioners in the field of UQ and drive greater focus on developing robust uncertainty qualification programs at universities and within graduate programs. In 2022 we were invited to present at the Groningen Earthquake Workshop in the Netherlands on Earthquakes and predicting seismic activity.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $33,664.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $32k to $114k (+254%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $10 → $16.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $26 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
