We are proud to highlight The Summer Fund at Philanthropy Massachusetts, who recently awarded SCFG a grant to support our Summer Rocketry Program! In July and August, the Rocketry Program will engage 40 middle school girls and gender-expansive youth in a 2-week immersive experience during which participants build, design, and launch their own rockets while gaining leadership skills and building confidence in STEM.

Founded in 1971, the Summer Fund is a donor collaborative comprised of over 15 funders, which supports summer camps and programs. The Summer Fund was established to address issues of racial, ethnic, and socio-economic disparities by recognizing the need for summer opportunities for underserved youth from low-income families, and to steward the fair and equitable distribution of resources to ensure access to those opportunities.

A huge thank you to The Summer Fund for helping SCFG address the systemic inequities in STEM while BLASTING OFF to summer fun and hands-on STEM learning!
