Donors make it possible

Donations and grants from individuals, corporations, and family foundations make our work possible. We operate with a very small part-time staff, and due to many annual gifts-in-kind, we have minimal overhead. Your gifts and donations go directly towards helping us serve more and more girls each year. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. 

Student Testimonials

Thank you so much for this opportunity! It was a fun experience to take on and explore the field of STEM. The field trips meeting with the professionals made it even better. They all had some inspirational messages to share with us about their experience to what point they are in today. The camp has given me a starter point to be more prepared for studying for my physics class with Dr. Strong with some great ideas. Thank you again for working with us!​
