Welcome to STEM Is Your Future
We are committed to helping underserved students rise. Our focus is on students from low-income families who show great potential and a hunger to learn — what some call “diamonds in the rough.” Through donations and community support, we provide free tutoring and academic competitions that give these motivated learners a real chance to shine. We also offer affordable support for all students who want to go further.
Our Mission
STEM is Your Future exists to make quality education accessible to all. We offer tutoring in math and coding, host academic competitions, and connect passionate learners with life-changing opportunities like scholarships and mentoring.

How We Use Donations
We are committed to maximum impact and transparency. While:
- Charity Navigator considers admin costs of up to 30% acceptable,
- The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance recommends staying under 35%,
We are proud to cap our administrative costs at just 20%:
- 5% goes to our fiscal sponsor for managing tax-deductible donations.
- 15% covers our low operational costs, including hosting, software, outreach, and tutor stipends.
Hire a Tutor, Help Students
When you hire Mr. Gardner as a Python programmer or a math/Python tutor, you're giving back. For every paid hour, we donate free tutoring time to a group of students on free or reduced lunch.
