Sensata’s primary U.S. sites are located in Attleboro, MA; Thousand Oaks, CA; Vista, CA; South Burlington, VT; Troy, MI; Boise, ID; Gretna, VA; and Bloomington, MN, with additional smaller locations in Cambridge, MD; Chandler, AZ; Columbus, OH; and San Diego, CA.

Prior to submitting a grant application, all interested nonprofits must complete a brief eligibility survey. We believe that everyone, regardless of background, should have the chance to explore and thrive in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

In an effort to support the next generation of engineers, the Foundation is focused on funding nonprofits that provide STEM education opportunities for youth in grades K-12. Key focus areas include: * **Improving Access:** Programs and initiatives that ensure all individuals have access to STEM-specific resources, services, and programs.

* **Empowering Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills:** Programs that equip students with tools and resources to think creatively and independently to effectively address challenges or problems. * **Furthering Education & Career Opportunities to Inspire Future Leaders:** Programs that provide additional learning avenues (i.e. mentorships) that prepare students to further their educational growth in STEM-related fields.

The Foundation supports a variety of nonprofits and their programs to ensure that prevailing needs are addressed within local communities. Key focus areas include: * **Food Insecurity:** Food banks and distribution centers. * **Homeless Services and Shelters:** Providing support, resources, and accommodations to individuals experiencing homelessness with transition assistance to a more stable living environment.

* **Social and Economic Mobility:** Giving members of the community an opportunity to build personal stability in order to experience better quality of life. * **Environment:** Programs that support the environment by helping build clean and green outdoor spaces that community members can enjoy.
