The San Diego region is one of the most powerful science and technology hubs in the world. Yet, the status of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education in our region is in crisis.
Together with your financial support, the Fleet can make a difference. Your donation will allow the Fleet to increase our community and school support, extend our education programs and revitalize the Science Center. Please join your neighbors and colleagues in supporting the Fleet's Annual Fund and provide life-changing opportunities that support a thriving San Diego science and technology community. More>>
Help us reach our quarterly goal! The Fall Campaign ends October 31 but donations received through November 7 will still be applied.
