🚀 Their Future Can’t Wait, Join the Close the Gap Challenge

What happens when the nonprofits serving the most vulnerable are the first to lose funding?

That’s the reality today: 52% of federally funded nonprofits are financially unstable, and millions of dollars in promised support have been canceled (NonprofitPro, 2025).

But here’s the truth: while funding is down, Self-eSTEM’s impact is rising.

For over a decade, we’ve defied the odds, keeping our core programs free even as 50% of nonprofits fail within their first few years, and 30% don’t survive a decade. While others cut programs, we’ve expanded opportunities for young Innovators to thrive in STEM and prepare for the Future of Work.

Now, we’re asking you to pivot with us. Your gift today doesn’t just keep the lights on. It fuels innovation, keeps doors open, and ensures every girl who dreams of a STEM future has access, no matter her zip code.

When you give, and when your company matches your gift, your impact multiplies by up to 240% (Bonterra, 2025).

The future won’t wait. And neither can we.

YOU are the catalyst. YOU are the conduit for change.

👉 Join our Close the Gap Challenge. Invest in the next generation of Innovators. Together, we can turn crisis into resilience and possibility into progress.
