In 2024, F5’s STEM Education Grants are focused on supporting nonprofit organizations committed to helping build the pipeline of tomorrow’s female changemakers and future leaders, by investing in organizations and programs to increase access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and career opportunities for girls and women of color.
