A Shared Vision For The Future

The SME Education Foundation works to foster strong partnerships with corporations, foundations, organizations and individuals.

We need your help. As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our many donors, from corporations to individuals. Every gift makes a difference.  We are committed to inspiring, preparing and supporting the next generation of manufacturing and engineering talent. With your gift, we can encourage young minds to pursue manufacturing careers at our Student Summits, prepare them with modern equipment and tailored curriculum and also fund their educational aspirations.
