Our 2022 Accomplishments

Frost Equity Initiative, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate for Frost STEAM Labs, is launching our annual Giving Tuesday campaign to expand our reach. All of Frost STEAM Labs’ contracts for STEAM enrichment clubs in schools and non-profits have been funded by grants and individuals like yourself. Your donation will help provide elementary and high school students with financial need scholarships for Coding Clubs and Money Clubs. Our work is helping to expose underrepresented groups to the S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) fields and to promote financial literacy.  

Frost Equity Initiative supporters have helped sponsor the following events in 2022: 

  • Frost Equity Initiative launch: We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation launched to help Frost STEAM Labs fund coding clubs for underprivileged students.  

  • MLK Academy Kids Coding Club launch: In March, we helped Frost STEAM Labs launch an on-site coding club at Martin Luther King Jr. Academy for Social Justice in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood--one of the toughest neighborhoods in the country. The program supported 30 students in the 3rd through 5th grades. 

  • Teen Money Club: Finance 101: A free, virtual event where youth learned about budgeting, interest rates, and credit scores from a professional money coach hired through Frost STEAM Labs.  

  • Diverse Game Characters project: Frost STEAM Labs created diverse game characters to use in our coding exercises. 

  • Amazon Smile campaign launch where our supporters raise money for us as they shop with Amazon at https://smile.amazon.com.
