Donate

High Tech Kids relies on the generous support of individual and corporate contributors to achieve our mission of growing today’s young minds into tomorrow’s leaders. Only 10% of our program costs are covered by regional registration fees. We do not receive financial support from FIRST or LEGO where most team fees are sent.

Announcing High Tech Kids'

2010 Individual Donor Campaign

High Tech Kids' goal is to raise $5000 from individual donors. We have been given a generous $5000 match if we achieve our goal by December 31, 2010 and have already received $1,350! Help our Minnesota kids to build confidence, create opportunities, and thrive in the 21st century. Donate today or share this opportunity with your family and friends to double your impact! Our sincere thanks to those who have already contributed their time and talents. We could not do this without you. You make a difference. You are why we can celebrate with more than 18,000 kids since 1998!

  Corporate Volunteer Hours and Matching Gifts

To increase the value of your time, consider your corporate volunteer hours. Many businesses will make a donation based on time spent with our kids and program: 3M, Ecolab, Honeywell, Land O'Lakes, Medtronic and Quality Bicycle Products. Let's add to our list! Our sincere thanks to those who take the time to help us attain these fantastic donations.

You may also be eligible for a corporate matching gift for your financial donation. Check with your Human Resources Department to confirm if you have a corporate or foundation matching gift program. If you have any questions about donating to High Tech Kids, please contact us. We would be happy to assist in any way possible.
