Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. 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.
  2. EDUCATION 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.
  3. $33,664 spent. ADVISORY 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.
