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.

Programs described in its return (2)
- $22,083 spent. Our core program area is hosting virtual and in-person workshops. In this period, we hosted a several workshops including: a 3-day workshop alongside a major conference and supported four attendees with travel + housing support, organized a hackathon with provided meals and materials, and two small 2 hour long workshops at PyData Vermont and RSE'24. We also hosted ongoing bi-weekly calls to maintain momentum with the CoARA ERIP research group. Through these events we engaged with over 250 participants, led to a technical working group that now meets biweekly with 30 active members, and contributed to the development of five research tools. Through these activities, SciOS advances the integration of culture and technology in science, ensuring sustainable collaboration among researchers, technologists, and institutions.
- $4,496 spent. Upon initiation of the organization we had miscellaneous startup fees that included: paying for a professional website, setting up our nonprofit using paid proffesionals, the cost of a professional notion plan + google services, and the cost for a team offsite to align our strategic goals. This set of services and strategic gathering allowed our team to ensure we were working coherently towards our mission and to have the infrastructure to share that work.
