Established in 1976 as one of the nation’s first non-profit Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education organizations, FAME, Inc. has served over 35,000 students and families, providing hands-on learning and developing critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills.  FAME, Inc. is determined to launch leaders into STEM. But now, these essential services are being threatened. 

 

In recent weeks, the White House proposed a pause of all federal financial assistance and supporting activities, freezing billions of dollars worth of financial aid designated for organizations throughout the country.

 

 

In 2022, FAME, Inc. was awarded $7 million in federal grant support to complete the Learning Lab, a community hub that focuses on Academics, Workforce Development, and Innovation. This space will serve thousands of Delawareans, promoting STEM education, advancing the American workforce, and driving global innovation. Construction began in 2024, and the building is scheduled to launch in 2026. These federal funds are critical in completing the Learning Lab. But through these efforts, our awarded funds are now at risk of cancellation.

 

Without this funding, FAME, Inc.’s Learning Lab may never come to fruition. We need your help to raise critical project funds the administration considers unnecessary.

 

Your support is needed now more than ever!

 

Your contribution will allow us to:

-       Provide advanced STEM curriculum to over 400 students 

-       Propel workforce training and apprenticeships throughout Delaware

-       Connect talent to opportunities, including universities/colleges, scholarships, and careers
