Our primary mission is to provide supporting grants to students and young scientists working on aspects of an origin of life on land with hot spring pools being one of the plausible chemical settings. We are planning to make our first grants in Q2 2022 after a period of organization building. If you feel moved to make a donation to help us get there, please visit our
