Donate & Scholarship
Empowering Future Innovators Through Your Support
Every raised bed, compost pile, and garden project begins with support from people who care. Staten’s Stems gives students across Clay County a way to learn science with their hands in the soil. We turn simple tools into powerful lessons—teaching children how plants grow, how systems work, and how their actions connect to the world around them.
When you donate, you help make this learning possible. You help bring science out of the textbook and into real life.
Why Your Donations Matter
Donations keep our education program moving forward. They cover supplies for gardens, compost systems, and free classes that reach families where they live and learn. A shovel or thermometer in the hands of a child can lead to new curiosity, fresh skills, and better choices.
Gardens grow more than food—they grow teamwork, confidence, and real knowledge. Your gift keeps that growing in schools, homes, and community spaces.

Staten’s Stems “Grow Your Future” Scholarship
Every year, we aim to award one local student a scholarship to support the study of science, technology, engineering, or math in college. It’s our investment in the next solution-seeker, builder, or designer.
This goal brings our mission full circle. Today’s garden lesson becomes tomorrow’s innovation. Donations move that future along.
