AFCEA Bethesda has a long history of giving back to our community by providing more than $1M to STEAM education and other local organizations.

As a non-profit association, AFCEA Bethesda is dedicated to giving back to the community while building a culture of collaboration. The proceeds of chapter events are used to support a variety of community organizations and institutions, from STEAM scholarships and programs at schools in Maryland to organizations providing support to veterans and NIH patients. As we prepare for the 2025-26 academic year, we are excited to invite you to submit a proposal for STEM funding consideration.
