The Green Gift
Research, Education and Outreach
At The Green Gift, our mission is to inspire and expand E-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 E-STEM research through community events and outreach activities. We hope that you join us on this journey to serve Huntsville and plant the seeds for a better tomorrow!
E-STEM = Environmental-Science Technology Engineering and Math
The Green Gift Award Banquet
Until Next Year!
The Green Gift extends heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and community supporters who made this year’s Graduate Research Awards Banquet a success. Special appreciation goes to Redstone Federal Credit Union, R8ed Barber & Style Shop, Apple Lane Farms, and Salt Smokehouse for their generosity and partnership.
We are equally grateful to the dedicated volunteers—especially friends from Leadership Greater Huntsville’s Spark Class 5—whose service and enthusiasm helped bring the evening to life. To our community members and individual donors, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue empowering students, supporting research, and inspiring positive change.
E-STEM Outreach
We participate in E-STEM outreach activities to spark curiosity in youth, because we believe wonder is where learning begins. These moments of discovery can light a lifelong passion, turning questions into dreams and dreams into futures. By showing up, we’re not just teaching—we’re inspiring young minds to imagine, explore, and believe in what’s possible. Every interaction is a chance to plant a seed of confidence and creativity that could grow into something extraordinary.
