Why Support the SAE Foundation?

Do you want to build a diverse, STEM-fluent workforce in your communities around the globe? SAE specializes in partnering with corporations to help them achieve their CSR goals while building strong community relations and positive brand image.

Equitable Access to STEM Education

When you invest in the SAE Foundation, you advance STEM education to break down barriers of gender, ethnicity, geography and socioeconomic background, and increase teachers’ competence and confidence in teaching science, technology, engineering and math.

SAE’s A World In Motion® (AWIM) and Collegiate Design SeriesTM (CDS) programs intersect theory with application through hands-on learning and mentorship, creating a direct pathway to computer science, engineering and other technical careers.

Community and Employee Engagement

Do you want to help spark inspired learning? By partnering with the SAE Foundation, you deliver high-quality STEM education programming in the neighborhoods where your employees live and work to cultivate STEM-savvy future innovators. Your employees can engage directly with students, igniting passion for STEM careers and sparking a lifelong interest in learning.

In addition to the benefits to students, employee engagement with teachers and students also creates profound experiences for volunteers:

“It’s heartwarming to see the kids’ reactions. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit three classrooms; the amazement, understanding, and thankfulness radiates from all of the kids. AWIM is amazing.”
