​IEEE Foundation -

As the philanthropic arm of the IEEE, the IEEE Foundation inspires the generosity of donors so it may enable IEEE programs that enhance literacy and education, as well as support the IEEE professional community. The IEEE Foundation relies on donations to bring the exhilaration of scientific discovery to students, foster technological innovation, preserve history, and promote awareness of the long-reaching effects of engineering and its impact on humanity. The Foundation has provided grant funds to the AZ Science Lab and has created an ASL Fund, a mechanism for individuals to donate to the ASL.

Salt River Project -

SRP is the oldest multipurpose federal reclamation project in the United States, serving central Arizona since 1903. Today the SRP power district is one of the nation's largest public power utilities, providing electricity to 1 million customers.
SRP believes in the stewardship of Arizona's natural resources and protecting the water and air quality of our state. SRP supports programs that aim to improve the environmental quality and raise awareness of issues. They also know that the leaders of tomorrow and their future employees are being created by the educational environment today. SRP supports education programs through corporate contributions that increase the quality of math and science education provided to students in grades K-12.

Community Partners

Our Community Partners provide the AZ Science Lab with a combination of financial and volunteer support. We thank them for their generosity.

APS Foundation –

The APS Foundation is helping Arizona students prepare to compete in the global economy. A workforce proficient in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills is critical to retaining and attracting high-quality businesses and industries to the state. Since 1981, the APS Foundation has invested more than $38 million to worthy projects throughout Arizona.
The APS Foundation invests in programs that enhance academic achievement in the areas of STEM. A majority of the funding is designated to teachers, who are broadly credited as the single-most important factor in the K-12 educational system. The Foundation targets projects that help educators increase content knowledge in STEM subjects as well as the ability to transfer this knowledge effectively to students.
