Funding Locally

Here in the South Florida area, there are a number of companies that support youth activities and STEM specific clubs/teams. Look at places like:

FP&L

Publix

Walmart

or other large chains that want to make an impact. Check out phrases like "corporate responsibility" or "community giving" to see how you can find local funding.

When in doubt, reach out to someone on the Board or other teams to get some ideas!
