Our Sponsors and Partners

The California Invention Convention is a registered 501(c)(3) with a tax-exempt EIN 84-3492216.  We currently do not charge the schools or students for the curriculum.  We rely strictly on sponsors and donations for which we are most grateful.

The California Invention Convention is much more than the name implies. Besides organizing and producing the yearly Regional Invention Conventions, we also support the classroom / after school Invention Education Program with Professional Development trainings, free curriculum, lesson plans, supporting activities and materials. The Invention Education Program is consistent across the state, while the Regional Invention Convention events vary depending upon the requirements of each region.

Each of these categories - Invention Education Program and Regional Invention Conventions - rely upon donations and sponsorship. Without the support of corporations, organizations and individuals, we would not be able to deliver either the Invention Education Program or the Regional Conventions. There are opportunities for sponsorship in both categories.

We would love the opportunity to present more about this program and its impact on students to your organization or business. Please contact us.
