You Can Make a Difference

We believe access to STEM shouldn’t depend on where a student lives, their family income, or whether they have a computer at home. Donate to give students access to these vital learning experiences.

What Your Support Makes Possible

From PreK through high school, students will discover the wonders of STEM and have the foundation they need to pursue their dreams. Your support impacts young learners in a number of positive ways:

  1. STEM classroom kits for under-resourced schools
  2. Teacher training and support
  3. Mentorship from industry and near-peer classroom volunteers
  4. STEM scholarships and awards
  5. Development of new STEM programming



“I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to support the SAE Foundation both as a Trustee and as a donor. Every day, we’re reaching more young learners with AWIM’s award-winning STEM education program—students that otherwise might not get exposed to STEM.”

Non-Cash Giving

Many of our donors are opting for smarter, non-cash giving options that not only support the SAE Foundation but may also offer various tax benefits. Click the link below to learn more about donating stock, giving from your IRA, and making a grant from a donor-advised fund.


Beneficiary Designations

Did you know you may have additional assets not covered in your will or trust? If you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts, these are called “non-probate assets” and they need to be planned for separately. 

Using the free online tool below, you can log all of your assets, receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker, and even include the SAE Foundation as a beneficiary to further support our mission to champion STEM education.
