Charity-sponsored competition
STEM Is Your Future Charity-Sponsored Educational Competition
A sponsor-funded academic competition where students are welcome to compete, subject to the official competition rules, with free entries available for eligible students participating in free or reduced lunch programs.
Donate through Group 36How the competition works
This competition includes a math exam and a memory exam. Students compete for educational prizes while practicing the kinds of focus, speed, and reasoning that help them grow academically.
The minimum funding goal is $10,000. If the minimum is not reached, available charitable funds will be used for math tutoring for students participating in free or reduced lunch programs.
Important giving note
Sponsors help provide free entries for eligible students, not a benefit for a specific school, student, or family selected by the donor. All charitable gifts remain subject to Group 36's oversight and approval.

We will invite schools near the sponsor's community.
Sponsors may suggest local schools or communities for outreach. STEM Is Your Future can email nearby schools and offer free competition entries for up to the first 5,000 eligible students participating in free or reduced lunch programs.
School invitations
