Overview

Mission

The mission of the stem development foundation (sdf) is to bring together community leaders to foster science, technology, engineering and math (stem) education, work to increase the number of participants in stem programs in k-12, technical colleges and universities, and to be a hub for stem activities.

What it reported doing in 2019

The first accomplishment of stem development foundation (sdf) is organizing special events (non-fundraising) that bring local companies and future talent (namely junior-high through high school students) together so that the students may learn about educational / career development paths that involve science, technology, engineering and math (i.e. Stem). The organization will solicit local companies with career paths in stem to sponsor the special event while being an active participant in the event. This is done by having a theme and booths established with interactive displays by the local companies for hands on experience allowing the companies to encourage students to pursue stem related careers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
