Ways to Give

Each year more than 100 corporations and other organizations contribute to our educational programs through the Corporate Affiliates program. In turn, Affiliates and their employees receive valuable benefits and privileges. Your corporation or organization may also wish to support The Tech with volunteers. For inquiries about the Affiliates program, email Linda Antonopoulos at lanton@thetech.org.

CORPORATE AFFILIATE BENEFITS

Many of The Tech’s unique exhibitions and educational programs would not be possible without the support of private, family, corporate and employee foundations. Our foundations staff members are eager to work in close partnership with all charitable foundations, established and new. We seek to partner on meaningful programs that are aligned with the interests of the foundation’s charter and/or trustees. Some highlights of successful foundation partnerships:

• Together with the Leo M. Shortino Family Foundation, The Tech helped launch a new STEM magnet elementary school in the Franklin-McKinley School District. The partnership also made possible the Tech Academies of Innovation program, which builds excellence in engineering education within underserved schools.
• Together with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Brin Wojcicki Foundation, The Tech is building the most advanced bio-engineering exhibition and bio-tinkering playground ever attempted in a science center.
• Together with the David H. Liu Foundation, The Tech has encouraged STEM majors by recognizing our best high school volunteers with college scholarships.
• Together with the Swanson Foundation and the Koret Foundation, we transformed The Tech at night into the most interesting place to be through our Creative Collisions initiative.
• Together with the House Family Foundation, The Tech has hosted thousands of underserved students from Title I schools and provided them with the deepest STEM experience that our top-flight education team has to offer. 

To meet with our foundations staff, please contact Linda Tsai, Director of Foundation Relations, at 1-408-795-6338 or ltsai@thetech.org. 

The Tech has launched an institutional transformation that is redefining the museum as a Silicon Valley resource for innovation. We aim to do this by creating deep experiences that are open-ended, social and collaborative. We need your help to make this vision a reality.

Steve Young/Jerry Rice Bay Area Classic
October 24, 2018

Please join us for the annual Steve Young/Jerry Rice Bay Area Classic at CordeValle Golf Club. Funds raised by the tournament benefit The Tech and the Forever Young Foundation, including its 8 to 80 Zones.

The Tech is honored to be one of the beneficiaries of this event and to join the Forever Young Foundation in providing support to children from underserved communities.

Steve Young, a member of The Tech’s Board of Directors, created the Forever Young Foundation in 1993 to support community projects and nonprofit organizations that are effectively serving the therapeutic and academic needs of seriously ill and underprivileged children. Through Jerry Rice's vision, the Forever Young Foundation created 8 to 80 Zones that provide youth from underserved communities with the skills to pursue careers in technology and media.

To confirm your sponsorship or for more information, contact Linda Antonopoulos at lanton@thetech.org or 1-408-795-6155.
