A Special Thank You to Our Allies!

09/09/2025

Hey voters! We want to give a huge thank you to the incredible allies who helped us turn our vision into a reality. This post is a special dedication to the Carnegie Young Leaders for Civic Preparedness program, whose foundational support was essential to the launch of STEM to the Polls.

Thank you Carnegie! 

We're incredibly proud to share that the launch of STEM to the Polls was made possible by the foundational support of the Carnegie Young Leaders for Civic Preparedness program. This program, backed by a generous grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, believed in our vision from the very beginning

From Idea to Impact: What This Support Made Possible

Thanks to the crucial support of the Carnegie Corporation and the Institute for Citizens & Scholars, we were able to hit the ground running. Their investment allowed us to:

  • Build Our Platform: We were able to develop our website and initial resources from day one, giving you the tools you need to engage with complex topics.
  • Create Our Community: The support helped us establish a strong online presence, allowing us to connect with our initial community of voters and engaged citizens.
  • Empower Our Mission: Most importantly, it gave us the ability to dedicate ourselves to our core mission: providing you with the STEM literacy and critical thinking skills needed to make evidence-based policy choices.

This partnership is a core part of who we are. It is a powerful reminder that our work is not just a passion project; it is a vital part of fostering a more resilient and informed electorate. We are deeply grateful to Carnegie for believing in us and for providing the support that made our launch possible.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we can make our voices heard, backed by science and knowledge.
