The HelioArc Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding research and education in Heliophysics and space weather. Our mission is to reveal the wonders of living around our magnetically active star, the Sun. In our pursuit of knowledge, we raise Awareness of the Sun’s influence on our world, strengthen Resilience against space hazards, and empower Communities to thrive within our cosmic environment. This guiding "Arc of impact" is at the heart of our mission and reflected in our name.
At HelioArc, we believe that Heliophysics thrives when it is driven by human curiosity, real-world relevance, and a commitment to lasting societal benefit. To fully realize its potential, this field needs visionary partners. Our mission to safeguard and advance humanity’s understanding of the Sun calls for long-term private support that amplifies the impact of publicly funded science and helps ensure its continuity in times of uncertainty.
The HelioArc Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors whose collective experience spans decades at the forefront of solar and space physics. Our directors are active leaders at premier scientific institutions and contribute to missions and programs that support NASA, NOAA, and international research efforts. Each board member is a globally recognized authority in solar and space science, whose work continues to shape our understanding of the Sun and its impact on geospace and space weather. This rare convergence of scientific expertise, institutional leadership, and deep personal commitment gives HelioArc its strength. For us, the Sun is a driving force embedded in who we are. That connection keeps our mission tightly aligned with the evolving needs of the communities we serve.
