Support Our Summer Technology Program for Kids
SDM Foundation is offering the opportunity to BECOME A SPONSOR of our 2026 Summer Kids’ Lessons program!
This summer, we will again be running our free Summer Lessons Program for Kids, focused on hands-on learning like coding, Lego robotics and digital creativity. These lessons are designed to build confidence, curiosity, and real-world skills.
Our vacation programming is hugely popular and fills up fast! With around 100 kids participating annually in our Kids’ Lessons, it is an important part of our community work, and we’d love to be able to do more.
To that end, new for this year, we are offering several sponsorship levels, starting at $100, and all contributions are tax-deductible through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
Sponsors will be recognized through our website, social media, and program materials.
We’ve included a brief overview of sponsorship options below. We’d be happy to answer any questions or talk through what level makes the most sense for you, your family or your business.
Your sponsorship will help us provide a greater number of lessons and workshops, create more opportunities for kids to continue their learning, and to expand the number of topics we are able to teach.
Would you be open to supporting local kids in building technology skills this summer?
