Destination Space Donation

Destination Space is the National Space Club Florida Committee's signature STEM education initiative, partnering with the Brevard Schools Foundation to provide more than 5,500 Brevard County sixth-grade students with an educational field trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex each year.

Through classroom activities and a full-day immersive experience, students explore the history of the Space Coast, learn about the Artemis program, and discover the many aerospace companies and STEM careers helping shape the future of space exploration.

Because Destination Space is funded entirely through community support—not the Brevard Public Schools operating budget—your tax-deductible donation directly helps provide this inspiring opportunity for local students. The National Space Club Florida Committee, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, contributes funds raised from individuals and the aerospace community to ensure this program continues to inspire the next generation of explorers, engineers, and innovators.

Donations can be made online or by mailing a check to:

National Space Club Florida Committee 5277 Lake Lizzie Drive Saint Cloud, FL 34771
