About The Green Gift

The Green Gift, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Huntsville, Alabama, is dedicated to expanding access to Environmental STEM (E-STEM) through programs that link scientific research with community values. Our mission is to foster inclusive innovation and environmental leadership through education, outreach, and research support.

Update!

We did it! Our first year was a success.

We were able to:

• Award $5,000 in funding for graduate students to be awarded in the Fall semester 2025,

• Lead STEM outreach programs in partnership with with TRIO Upward Bound this past summer at Alabama A&M University,

• Connect with community through local events and our very first ever Graduate Research Award Banquet!

Through these efforts, we will continue to build a strong foundation for sustainable development, scientific curiosity, and youth engagement across North Alabama and beyond.

Big News! Our 2026 Funding Goal Has Been Reached!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we have officially met our 2026 award funding goal. This milestone ensures that we can continue investing in graduate research and expanding access to E-STEM opportunities in the coming year.

Why Your Continued Support Still Matters

While we’ve reached this important goal, our work is far from over. Additional support allows us to grow and deepen our impact even further.

With your continued support, we can:

• Continue funding research awards for next year’s graduate students,

• Expand hands-on STEM activities for K-12 grade students,

• Build stronger community partnerships to drive local environmental initiatives,

• Increase public engagement with fun community events.

Every contribution beyond our initial goal helps us go further, reaching more students, supporting more research, and creating lasting change in our community.

Join us as we build on this momentum. Together, we can continue shaping a future where science, education, and community come together to make the world a better place.
