Saint Louis Science Center

With a generous matching gift opportunity, the Crawford Taylor Foundation invites you to join their support of the YES Program’s legacy of success by making a charitable gift in support of the Science Center’s Curiosity Fund. 

At the Science Center, we believe in the power of curiosity. Programs like our Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program ignite a passion for STEM and impact our community by inspiring teens from underserved St. Louis neighborhoods to discover their curiosity for science and technology. Through informal, hands-on STEM education and college and career readiness training, the YES Program helps these teens realize their potential as STEM learners, career professionals (including many right here in St. Louis), and innovators of the future.

Gifts to the Science Center for Give STL Day will count toward the Crawford Taylor Foundation's generous matching gift challenge, where your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, making your donation today twice as impactful.

"At the Crawford Taylor Foundation, we are passionate about programs that enhance St. Louis's reputation and make our city and region a richer place to live. Since its earliest days, the Saint Louis Science Center’s YES Program has inspired us by empowering young people throughout our community to be curious about science, technology, engineering, and math; pursue their potential in the STEM careers of tomorrow; and help forge a bright future for our city. 

We hope that this matching gift opportunity inspires others here in St. Louis and beyond to join us in celebrating the YES Program’s legacy of success and investing in the St. Louis of tomorrow by empowering our community through science education." 

–JoAnn Kindle, Chairperson, Crawford Taylor Foundation

Gifts to the Science Center for Give STL Day support our Curiosity Fund, one of the financial engines powering everything from impactful STEM education programs like the YES Program to our building's daily operation. Last year, the Science Center served more than half a million people with STEM learning experiences.
