The Green Gift
Research, Education and Outreach
At The Green Gift, our mission is to inspire and expand STEM participation by connecting research with community values. There is so much left to learn about the world around us and we need to inspire and support people passionate about making those discoveries. To kick this off, we have funded a graduate research award to help support young scientists in their journey to making powerful, innovative discoveries. We believe that innovation is essential for a sustainable future, but this innovation would not be possible without the support of our community. That is why we also aim to increase awareness about the importance of STEM research through public speaking engagements, workshops, and other fun activities. We hope that you join us on this journey to serve Huntsville and plant the seeds for a better tomorrow!
The Green Gift Graduate Research Award
The Green Gift Graduate Research Award is intended to help support graduate students pursuing an advanced degree in a STEM Field. We recognize the pressure pursuing an advanced degree can place on a student and look to alleviate some of that strain. A one-time $1000 award will be granted to 5 applicants based on the merit and impact of their research topic. This award will support the development of future scientists by lowering financial strain and encouraging high-quality contributions to their fields.
Connecting Research to Community values
We aim to bring experts into community spaces to discuss how their research impacts your quality of life. Through this, we want to ensure your voices are heard, as research findings ultimately influence decisions that affect you.
Sowing the Seeds of Tomorrow
We're inspiring the next generation of STEM innovators to protect the environment, enhance quality of life, and drive national growth. Your support can spark youth interest in science and change their future—and ours.
