Chemical Educational Foundation
The Chemical Educational Foundation (CEF) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring Kindergarten through 8th-grade students to pursue science-related education and careers. It achieves this through its prominent "You Be The Chemist" programs, which engage students, teachers, and communities in chemistry and STEM education.
Programs
You Be The Chemist Challenge®
- This program is a national academic competition designed for 5th- to 8th-grade students. The competition aims to build interest and excitement among students to continue their science and STEM-related education throughout high school and beyond.
- It supplies educators and parents with necessary resources, including online support, study materials, and implementation tips.
You Be The Chemist® Activity Guides
- Presented by Brenntag, these guides provide hands-on learning experiences for K-8 students using common, inexpensive items. The activities are designed to explore foundational science concepts, making real-world connections that highlight the value of science and chemistry in everyday life.
- The content is compatible with the Next Generation Science Standards and can be implemented in various educational settings without requiring formal lab space.
You Be The Chemist® Essential Elements
- This program focuses on professional development for educators, providing workshops that equip teachers with the confidence and methods needed to effectively teach chemistry concepts.
Career Conversations
- This initiative offers online and in-person resources for students to explore different STEM careers and engage in discussions with professionals about future workforce opportunities.
Mission and Impact
The CEF's mission is to reach students early in their educational journey, often in grades where chemistry and STEM concepts may not be traditionally emphasized. By introducing these subjects in a engaging and interactive manner, the foundation aims to inspire a passion for chemistry and STEM-related careers among young learners.
Financial Overview
CEF's primary revenue source is contributions, which account for the majority of its total revenue. The organization relies on these donations to fund its educational programs and operational expenses. Notable expenses include executive compensation and salaries for other employees. Donations to the foundation are tax-deductible, supporting its educational and charitable activities.
