Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Humanities
Mission: Advancement of the arts, sciences and humanities through awards and grants to stimulate scholarship, conduct of symposia and dissemination of information for the public good.
Programs: The cosmos club foundation's young scholars grant program provides grants to graduate students at local washington-area universities to meet unexpected and otherwise unsupported aspects of their research. During 2017 the foundation made grants totalling 70,415 to 25 scholars.
the cosmos club award is presented annually to a selected individual of national or international standing in a field of science, literature, the fine arts, other learned professions or public service.
the john p. Mcgovern award is awarded to selected individuals whose endeavors have clearly distinguished them as leaders in their spheres of activity. Each recipient is offered an honorarium and is presented with a medal commemorating his or her selection. Recipients speak about their work at a ceremony held at the cosmos club and to which non-members are invited. The lectures are open to non-members, and a plaque is placed in the cosmos clubhouse memorializing each award recipient.
