Partners & Sponsorship
Curious about Sponsorship Opportunities? Check out a variety of ways to support T4T initiatives.
ANGEL Level Sponsor: Republic Services and Trash for Teaching are re-engineering what we throw out, and in the process we are reinvigorating our communities with hands-on environmental education.
Check out some of the amazing ways we are working together.
BENEFACTOR Level Sponsor: INTEL’s financial sponsorship was the seed that grew into T4T’s current Science, Technology, Engineering, and Invention focus. Over 1,500 science kits were designed and distributed across LA thanks to INTEL’s kick-start grant and employee volunteer help.
CONTRIBUTOR Level Sponsor: New Green Day is the engine behind the most inspiring new materials at T4T. Their clean, safe, and amazing plastic components constitute a large percentage of the materials used in our hands-on engineering projects. Teachers, students and parents have all remarked that New Green Day’s donations are the best materials in the most abundant quantities T4T has seen in years.
CONTRIBUTOR Level Sponsor: Southern California Edison’s financial sponsorship has helped to expand T4T’s material carts program (Reuse-Rethink Resource System) into classrooms and afterschool programs.
CONTRIBUTOR Level Sponsor: Raytheon’s financial sponsorship has helped to expand T4T’s material carts program (Reuse-Rethink Resource System) into classrooms and afterschool programs.
