Sponsorship Opportunities

Thanks to the support of generous corporations, foundations, and other organizations who believe in the importance of promoting the understanding and appreciation of science and the vital role it plays in human advancement, SSP has brought the world of science directly to our global community for nearly a century.

We welcome consideration by organizations of support for our educational programs and publications, including the following opportunities in 2013:

Sponsorship of Science News for Kids

Science News for Kids (SNK) is an award-winning website written for children ages 9–14, their educators and their parents. Reaching millions of visitors each year, SNK provides an important, widely used and credible science resource for students and educators. It brings science and science news into the classroom, after-school programming, and out of school activities. Sponsors in 2013 will help deepen coverage and build more resources to support STEM education, better connecting real-world news and the achievements of working scientists to students and academic curricula. Title sponsorship of Science News for Kids is available in 2013.

Intel ISEF Special Award Sponsorship

Participation in the Special Awards Program of the Intel^®  International Science and Engineering Fair^® offers a unique opportunity for organizations to support and encourage achievements by young people in science, math, and engineering. Other sponsorship and exhibit opportunities may also be available.

Sponsorship of Science News

The Society, the nonprofit publisher of Science News, welcomes inquiries from foundations, corporations, and other donors interested in providing operating and programmatic support for the award-winning magazine published online and in print and reaching over 10 million people annually.

The Society also encourages and welcomes general support of its activities by companies, foundations and other organizations. SSP and its programs and publications have benefited greatly from grants and donations for general operating support, through employee and workplace giving programs, and via challenge grants. General operating support in 2013 will help enable the Society to:

• Deepen coverage and offer more resources to support STEM education by better connecting real-world news and the achievements
• Mobilize thousands of volunteers in 2013, including PhD-level scientists and educators across disciplines, to serve as judges and provide other valuable support to science competitions.
• Cultivate future generations and promote scientific inquiry to students participating in SSP's competitions, coverage of whom has been reported in major media outlets including The New York Times, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio and Fox Business News.
• Expand the Society’s authoritative, informative and independent science journalism by strengthening Science News and Science News for Kids as a vital contributor to public discourse and engagement in science.
