RE: STEM Funding
Diane Brancazio
Hello Dan,
Thanks so much for all you do to fund makerspaces and get more kids making!
I’m going to share this on:
- K-12 Fab Labs and Makerspaces k-12-f...@googlegroups.com which is a great list with about 3000 maker educators.
- Artisans Asylum in Brighton where they are setting up programs for youth
- a facebook group called Makerspace Teachers
- on our next K-12Maker newsletter
- with other educators we work with
Warm regards,
Diane

Hello! I hope you are doing well.
We have our STEM grant funding in place. Is there any place that you have a listing of grant-making organizations that you could add us to? Or some other way to help get the word out?
This is what I have been using as a short listing blurb:
The T Backer Fund Inc. (tbackerfund.com) has announced a series of grants for STEM-related activities for maker-spaces and other non-profits. The grants, up to $5000 each, are for programs for ages K-12 that involve hands-on learning projects. See the website for more details.
Thanks,
Daniel Grunberg
