Each year, Geeks for Kids builds custom cars for kids with movement disabilities; these cars are gifts to the kids and their families; they pay nothing.

With your support, these kids can grow and learn by exploring their world.  Whether through monetary gifts, in-kind donations or volunteering, corporate sponsors like you make Geeks for Kids – as well as all of LEARN’s other programs – possible.  Sponsorships cover the cost of the cars, the parts, the facility usage and other event costs like t-shirts, meals and awards.

By sponsoring Geeks for Kids, you position your firm as a community leader and a great place to work – especially for super geeks.  And, 100% of the money raised helps kids.

Sponsorship Programs

Geeks for Kids offers two levels of sponsorships - Program and Event sponsorships.  Both make Geeks for Kids and Invent for Good possible.

Program Sponsors

Program sponsors might be better called "program partners."  They not only turbocharge our programs with higher levels of financial and volunteer support; they often play a significant role in program design, development and delivery.  The impact partners have on the kids we serve and on the community are huge, and the benefits to our partners are commensurate.  These include the opportunity to:

Build Strong Teams

Strengthen your teams through volunteer projects that put their technical and business skills to meaning-filled use.  Your volunteers can:

  • Staff Delivery Day – Help us host the biggest day of Geeks for Kids year, when we deliver cars to all the kids who have been waiting to receive the gift of independent mobility
  • Build custom electric cars – Volunteer at one-day Build events and empower kids with movement limitations to explore, learn and grow while working as a team
  • Hold Private Build Events – Gather a diverse group of your team members to do good while getting to know one another better
  • Join The Geeks for Kids’ Design Team and create the next wave of mobility toys and other assistive devices 
  • Join our The Geeks for Kids’ Leadership Board to define and execute the business strategies needed to serve more kids, meet more of their needs, and expand Geeks for Kids and Invent for Good regionally and nationally

Grow Your Talent Pool

Foster new generations of engineers, inventors, programmers, marketers, writers and other professionals through rich, real-life STEM projects.  Your company and team members can:

  • Host an Invent for Good kickoff – Help write and deliver the curriculum that will inspire and guide each year’s Invent for Good teams.
  • Mentor middle-school through college teams – Through our Invent for Good program, help students design and prototype better solutions for kids with movement limitations
  • Judge the teams’ inventions – Encourage, guide and reward the next generation of inventors.

Boost Your Brand

Expand your reputation for smart, purposeful, technical solutions while doing good.  Through Geeks for Kid and Invent for Good, you will not only build strong ties to qualified and dedicated future employees, you will also give kids with movement limitations the #Power2Play.  There is nothing more beautiful or newsworthy than that.

  • Brand promotion – Place your brand on every piece of collateral we print, email or post.
  • Joint public relations and marketing – Spread the news of your hard work through newspapers, magazines, TV and social media.
