Support Our Mission
Bay Shore STEAM Corporation is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 33‑1468598). Every gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, and every dollar goes toward hands-on STEAM programs for students in Bay Shore and across Long Island.
Each year we aim to raise $75,000 to cover the real costs of competing and creating: registration fees, materials, equipment, and travel for the student programs we support across Long Island, such as FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) teams, Science Olympiad, manufacturing clubs, and other STEAM programs.
Your gift goes to Bay Shore STEAM Corporation, an independent nonprofit, and does not go directly to a school or school district.
