Donations to STEDTRAIN

The STEDTRAIN Committee operates as a committee of the Huntsville Association of Technical Societies. All donations need to be processed through the parent corporation. HATS is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit corporation, so donations may be tax deductible.

As a small organization with less than $50k in annual revenue, HATS files an annual IRS form 990N. While our 990N reports are available upon request as required by law, the financial information included in the 990N report may not be sufficiently detailed for some potential donors considering making donations to the HATS STEDTRAIN Seed Grant program, so we provide annual Seed Grant cycle reports.

HATS is listed on Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most-used charity evaluator, but has not been assigned an Encompass Rating because the organization does not file a full IRS form 990s.

Sponsorships

Some organizations prefer to purchase sponsorships vice making open ended, non-specific donations. For that reason, we do offer sponsorships. STEDTRAIN will acknowledge sponsors for specific Seed Grants, and teachers will be asked to identify sponsors of their Seed Grants. Sponsorships will be assigned by the Committee. We do not allow sponsors to pick specific Seed Grants.

Options for Donating

We have two options available for donations.
