A New Name and Focus
In 2018, the Idaho STEM Action Center established the Idaho STEM Action Center Foundation to offer donors the opportunity to contribute to a 501(c)(3) organization. From the beginning, the Foundation focused on channeling donations directly to the programs of the Idaho STEM Action Center.
In 2025, the Foundation’s Board of Directors voted to expand its funding priorities beyond just supporting the STEM Action Center’s initiatives. This pivotal change allows the Foundation to support a broader range of STEM education opportunities across the state. Now operating as an independent organization under a new name—the Idaho STEM Action Foundation—it is charting an exciting new path. While remaining deeply committed to expanding STEM access for all Idahoans, the Foundation is widening its scope to back innovative initiatives, build new partnerships, and respond more flexibly to emerging needs in STEM education.
As it evolves into a self-sustaining organization dedicated to advancing STEM throughout Idaho, the Foundation has launched a new website at idahostemactionfoundation.com. Please visit the site to learn more, get involved, and continue supporting the future of STEM in Idaho!
