Thank you, Bank of America Charitable Foundation, for supporting our place-based outreach programming - Neighborhood Science! The Bank of America Charitable Foundation strives to prepare tomorrow’s workforce, giving youth the skills and inspiration needed to find their future career path. Neighborhood Science provides engaging STEM opportunities for underserved and underestimated youth throughout the Central Florida community. Current Neighborhood Science programming is focused in the 32805 ZIP code, which has been identified by the Economic Innovation Group’s Distressed Communities Index as the most distressed ZIP code in Central Florida, enduring a low rate of high school graduation, high unemployment rate, and high poverty rate. With the support of generous partners like Bank of America, Neighborhood Science helps us build communities that thrive, together.

Our innovative, upcoming new exhibit Life is part of our comprehensive campaign, Unlock Science, which would not be possible without the generous support of our community. Life will immerse visitors in three habitats to help them understand how fragile these ecosystems are, inspire them to form a personal connection with the animals that live there, and empower them to become stewards and protectors of our planet. This exhibit is possible thanks to generous support from contributors, including our friends at the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1959 for the recognition of religious, charitable, scientific, educational, literary, or educational purposes, and to promote the welfare of mankind. Thank you, Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation, for helping bring this impactful new exhibit to life!

We are so grateful to the PNC Foundation for their ongoing support of our early childhood education outreach through their Grow Up Great initiative. Since 2004, PNC Grow Up Great has helped children from birth through age five develop a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime. This $500 million dollar initiative is built on the understanding that education is a powerful tool for economic and social mobility. This initiative has provided ongoing support for our Ignite Discovery program, which provides direct services for preschool-aged children and caregivers from low-income households through hands-on STEM workshops, teacher professional development, and family engagement events. Thank you, PNC Foundation, for your instrumental support of this impactful program.

We are honored to be a recipient of the USDA Food and Nutrition Service’s Farm to School Agricultural Education Grant! Since the Farm to School Program’s inception in 2013, the department has awarded nearly $75 million in grants, funding over 1,000 projects across the country, impacting over 25 million students in nearly 60,000 schools. We are thrilled to join forces with our friends at 4Roots Farm to bring highly engaging, hands-on agricultural science curriculum to Lakeville Elementary School to educate the students about how their foods are harvested and made. This project has been funded at least in part with Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
