Funding & Sponsorships

Supporting Our Mission: How You Can Help

Our operations are funded through earned revenue from our educational programs, community programs, facility rentals, and training operations. It is not usual we receive funding from federal, state, borough, or city sources for operational costs; this is to include allocated school district funds.

Donations and sponsorships, both corporate and individual, are a vital and necessary element to funding our mission. We rarely receive government funding and instead rely on a mix of charitable contributions and privately generated revenue.

Challenger actively pursues competitive grants and welcomes the opportunity to partner with like-minded organizations in the pursuit of projects designed to further our mission of inspiring youth in the pursuit of higher education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Sponsorships and donations are greatly appreciated. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. 501(c)(3) tax ID: 92-1761906.

Fundraising Events

What non-profit is complete without at least one annual fundraiser? Here at Challenger, even fundraising is connected to hands-on learning. Our Geocache Rally was developed to showcase what we do and give our contributors a chance to experience a small portion of how we work with students and trainees. Stay tuned for more information about our Semiannual Geocache Rally in 2025!
