National Space Club and Foundation

The National Space Club and Foundation is a Washington, DC 501(c)(3) nonprofit association devoted to fostering excellence in space activity through interaction between industry and government and continuing educational support. Its programs include the annual Dr. Robert H. Goddard Memorial Dinner, awards recognizing achievements in space science and enterprise, scholarships, fellowships, internships, youth education, and a Scholars Program conducted with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Wallops Flight Facility. The official site documents a Washington space-community gathering of nearly 2,000 at the Goddard Dinner and current 2026 activity, distinguishing the Foundation from Space Foundation and from separate Florida and Huntsville committees.
