Be our Science Partner!

There are many ways for businesses to get involved at the Lancaster Science Factory!

Some businesses join as members, providing value and benefits to their employees while supporting STEM education. Others donate as part of the state Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, receiving lucrative tax benefits. Many businesses use their donation as a marketing opportunity, reaching their target audience by sponsoring an event. Businesses might fund a program in need, sponsor an exhibit, or host a team-building activity after hours.

Here at the Science Factory we keep our budget lean so we can focus as many resources as possible on our programs and facility. We couldn’t do this without the support of our volunteers. These dedicated individuals help by answering visitors’ questions, facilitating projects during science summer camps, leading demonstrations in our Science Café, helping plan an event or with administrative duties, and countless other ways.
