June 2023 Issue

11th Annual State of STEM Stakeholder Breakfast was Just the Beginning

SEE MORE HIGHLIGHTS

THANK YOU to the more than 200 donors and supporters that joined us at this year's Annual Stakeholder's Breakfast a few weeks ago! We had an incredible time networking and celebrating the work being done to empower underrepresented students in STEM. You are a valued supporter, so we wanted to extend an opportunity for you to continue making a difference in the lives of these students.


As you may know, our Annual Stakeholder's Breakfast is C-STEM’s signature fundraiser—it’s the only fundraiser we have that directly supports our operations. In fact, this event is responsible for more than HALF of our operating budget.


We have a fundraising goal of $150K for the year, and we've raised $63,000. If you were unable to make it to the event, your support remains crucial in creating positive change.


That is why we invite you to join our current fundraising campaign and contribute to our mission of empowering underrepresented students in STEM. Your generous donation will help us reach our goal and provide access to quality STEM education for students who need it most.


... and ***GOOD NEWS***, just this week we secured a donor who has agreed to MATCH up to $10,000 in donations from June 25 - July 7. Give today to DOUBLE your contribution!

GIVE TODAY... GET THE MATCH!

(All gifts from 6/25-7/7 will be MATCHED by our anonymous donor)

Will performance-based pay improve outcomes for underserved and underrepresented students?
