The Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. is an independent, nonprofit organization. For this reason, CSSF, Inc. is totally dependent on the generous financial and resource support of those private businesses, organizations, and individuals that provide prize money, the ISEF trip, and cover fair expenses.
There are several levels of financial participation in the CSSF, Inc. Contributors provide financial support up to $500 and may provide an Associate (non-voting) Member to the Board of Directors. Sponsors provide $500 or more to financially support the CSEF, and are encouraged to provide up to two volunteers to serve as Regular (voting) Members on the CSSF, Inc. Board of Directors. These dedicated board members represent the nonprofit corporation and set fair policy. They are part of the overall Advisory Council that provides the volunteer staff and working committees that produce this valuable event.
To make a monetary contribution to the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair, complete the Contribution Form and mail it (with or without the check) to the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair. For more information about becoming a sponsor of the CSEF, contact Mike Bemski, Finance Committee Chair.

The Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. is also a member of GoodSearch. Last year, search engines generated close to $6 billion in revenue from advertisers. GoodSearch has developed a way to direct some of that money to the non-profit arena. It's easy . . . every time you search the Internet at GoodSearch.com, CSEF earns money and the more people search, the more money we make. How does it works?
- On the GoodSearch homepage, choose Colorado State Science Fair from the I'm Supporting list.
- Search the Internet just like you normally would - the site is powered by Yahoo!, so you'll get the same high-quality search results you're accustomed to.
- Fifty percent of the revenue generated from advertisers is shared with CSEF.
- It is estimated that each Web search will generate approximately $0.01 for CSEF. The more people using GoodSearch, the more money will be directed towards CSEF.
Individuals can also support the Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. through United Way. While CSSF, Inc. is not a listed agency through United Way, on their contribution form, there is a spot where you can designate an agency.
