Corporate Partnerships
Partnering with IYM means investing directly in New Zealand's future STEMM workforce. Our partners play a vital role in making our programmes accessible to young women from all walks of life - helping us remove barriers so that every participant who wants to take part can do so.
We offer a range of partnership and sponsorship packages to suit your organisation's goals and values, from sponsoring a student to hosting a site visit or contributing to programme delivery.
If your business or organisation wants to be part of an exciting, innovative movement, we would love to hear from you.
Donate to Innovative Young Minds
Innovative Young Minds has a goal - to see more young women studying and working in the STEMM sector. We know that diversity and inclusivity advance innovation, creativity and problem-solving, and we are committed to encouraging young women from diverse geographic, economic and cultural backgrounds to pursue STEMM study and career pathways.
Your donation helps make that possible. Every contribution — large or small - goes directly towards removing barriers and creating opportunities for the next generation of young women in STEMM.
Innovative Young Minds is a registered charitable trust (CC56684). All donations of $5.00 or more are tax-deductible.
Sponsor a Young Woman
Sponsoring a student means directly funding a young woman's place in one of our programmes - giving her hands-on access to STEMM careers, inspiring role models, and experiences that can change the direction of her life.
Sponsorship keeps our programme costs low, ensuring Innovative Young Minds is accessible to any young woman who wants to attend, regardless of her background or circumstances. Sponsoring a student in our IYM Residential programme costs $1,000 and includes an invitation to our parliamentary reception, where you can meet your sponsored student and connect with key industry leaders in the STEMM sector.
If you are keen to make a direct, tangible difference to a young woman's future, we would love to hear from you.
