501(C)(3) Status Approved!

We are proud to announce another major advancement for SciTech STEM. The Internal Revenue Service has officially recognized SciTech STEM as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, with the determination effective retroactively to October 1, 2025, the date the organization was formally established in the State of Michigan.

This designation affirms that SciTech STEM meets federal requirements to operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Receiving 501(c)(3) status allows the organization to better serve the community in meaningful ways. Donations made to SciTech STEM may now be tax-deductible for supporters, helping to encourage charitable giving and long-term sustainability. In addition, this status makes SciTech STEM eligible for a broader range of grants, public and private funding opportunities, and strategic partnerships that support science and technology education. Most importantly, it strengthens our ability to expand low-cost and accessible programs that benefit individuals, families, and underserved communities. We are grateful for the continued support and excited for what lies ahead.
