Invest in the
Next Generation of Innovators
Give resources. Share your knowledges. Open a door. Help a young person discover what they are capable of creating.
At Creative Innovators Project, students do more thank complete projects. They learn to trust their ideas, work through failure, collaborate with others, and turn imagination into something real.
Your support gives young innovators access to materials, mentorship, competitions, workshops, leadership opportunities, and a community that recognizes the strengths they may not have discovered yet.
Whether you give financially, donate supplies, share your professional skills, become a coach, or build a long-term partnership with us, you become part of what they create next.
Every Child Deserves a Place for Their Ideas
Some children shine on a field. Some find their confidence on a stage. Others come alive when they are handed a pile of materials, an impossible problem, and the freedom to imagine a solution no one else has considered.
CIP Creates that place
Here, students learn that creativity is not just an artistic talent—it is the ability to adapt, communicate, lead, take thoughtful risks, solve problems, and keep going when the first idea does not work. Theses are skills they will carry into the classrooms, careers, communities, and every challenge that comes next.
Your support ensures that finances, access to materials, or lack of opportunity do not stand between a young person and the moment they begin to believe in their own potential.
Choose How You Want to Make a Difference
Give Where It Is Needed Most
Flexible donations allow CIP to respond to the program’s most important needs, including student materials, equipment, workshops, competition expenses, community programming, and future growth.
Give Supplies or Equipment
Put real tools and materials directly into the hands of young creators. Supporters can purchase an item from the CIP Wishlist, donate new materials, fund a completely supply category, or help equip an entire team.
Give a Child a Membership
Sponsor all or part of a student’s CIP Membership and help make a full season of creativity, teamwork, mentorship, and hands-on learning accessible to a family who may otherwise be unable to participate.
Become a Business Partner
Business of every size can help create meaningful opportunities for local students. Partnerships can include financial sponsorship, donated materials, employee volunteerism, professional mentorship, hosting a student experience, or supporting a specific CIP program.
Sponsor a Student Experience
Help fund the moments that can change how a student sees themselves—from their first workshop to the moment they present an original solution or compete alongside their team.
Become a CIP Coach
CIP Coaching is not traditional sports coaching. Our coaches do not hand students the answers or take over their projects. They create safe, encouraging environment where students learn to develop ideas, navigate disagreements, make decisions, recover from setbacks, and take ownership of their work.
You do not need to have a child or grandchild enrolled in CIP to become a coach. You need patience, curiosity, a willingness to learn, and genuine desire to help young people discover what they can do.
Build Something
Meaningful With Us
CIP partnerships should feel collaborative—not transactional. We want to work with businesses, organizations, and professionals who believe that young people need more opportunities to create, experiment, lead, and solve meaningful problems.
A partnership can be built around your company’s budget, expertise, employees, materials, or community goals. Small businesses are just as important as large corporate partners, and support does not have to begin with a major financial commitment.
