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.

How You Can Help

Corporate Involvement

Corporations

Our corporate partners, through their financial support, in-kind donations or volunteer engagement, have been a vital part of helping us provide students access to an advanced manufacturing education – and they’ve benefitted by helping build a prepared, qualified workforce.
foundation involvement

Foundations

We welcome support from charitable foundations – it’s critical to our efforts to prepare skilled workers for STEM professions. In addition to scholarship support, foundations provide necessary funding to support program development and key initiatives in their own regions and communities.
