Your donations at work

As a non-profit education organization, our donors are the backbone of our foundation.  They provide the means whereby we can offer our unique brand of STEM education in our community.  The funds provided by our contributors go to various different aspects of our work.  When you become a donor, you can even specify what you want your money to go toward.

This month, as part of our birthday celebration, we have an incentive for new donors.  A donation of $10 a month gets your name entered into our Grand Prize drawing, and any extra $5 a month after that gains you another entry.

Here are a few of the different ways donations are used.  Your donations matter!

Scholarships: The cost of summer camps may, unfortunately, make it difficult for some students to attend.  Scholarships eliminate or reduce this barrier and make it possible for many students to participate.  Due to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to offer scholarships to every single one of our camps!

In-classroom field trips: STAR Camp doesn't take a hiatus during the school year.  Throughout the year, we bring camp to you in the form of in-classroom visits.  With appearances by a cast of colorful (and maybe crazy?) scientists to missions to the moon, we provide a one-of-a-kind field trip from the comfort of your own classroom.  Funds provided by donors make it possible for us to bring these fun STEM experiences to more schools and classrooms.

Supplies: If you're worried that the amount you are able to contribute is too small to make a difference, you are wrong!  Even the smallest contributions make it possible for us to purchase the supplies that spark the imaginations of budding scientists.  Your contributions could go toward anything from the straws and tape we use to teach basic engineering principals to the tablets and headsets used in simulated space missions!
