About Broadcom Foundation
The Broadcom Foundation concentrates its giving on K–12 STEM engagement and computing education, funding large, strategic program investments that build talent pipelines and scalable educational infrastructure. Its grants support high-profile youth STEM competitions (Broadcom MASTERS) and international/US expansion of coding clubs and online learning platforms through the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The foundation favors program development, strategic growth, and capacity-building work that increases access to hands-on science and coding opportunities for young people.

About Broadcom Foundation
Broadcom Foundation’s biggest recent commitment was $1,976,844 to Society for Science and the Public for Broadcom MASTERS, a pattern that shows how central competitive K–12 STEM talent development is to its giving. The foundation pairs that flagship youth competition with large program investments in coding clubs, online learning, and STEM infrastructure that can be used across states and countries. Its work also reaches beyond contests: recent support has helped Raspberry Pi Foundation build out Code Club resources and expand collaboration around U.S., Mexico, and Israel programming, while separate grants have backed online science-and-engineering learning through Science Buddies. Another line of support focuses on broadening who is visible in STEM history and who is positioned to participate in it, including Wikipedia-based work on underrepresented STEM pioneers and ecosystem-level initiatives for underserved students. Across these grants, the foundation backs partner organizations that can scale educational access, teacher support, and youth participation in computing and science.
What Broadcom Foundation Funds
In coding and after-school computing, Broadcom Foundation gave $250,000 in 2024 to Raspberry Pi Foundation North America Inc. to expand Code Clubs in the United States under the direction of a U.S.-based executive director. It also awarded $125,000 in 2025 to Discovery Science Center of Orange County for code curriculum development and code clubs in an informal learning space. For digital literacy and engineering pathways, it gave $225,000 in 2025 to University of California Irvine Foundation - the H for UCI Henry Samueli School of Engineering programs on digital literacy and OC engineering pathways for underserved and under-represented youth. In STEM representation work, the foundation awarded $200,000 in 2025 to Wiki Education Foundation to expand STEM biographies in Wikipedia through instruction-led student research projects. It also supported science-fair and project-based learning through a $150,000 grant to Science Buddies for online science and engineering programs with coding.
How Broadcom Foundation Gives
Broadcom Foundation’s recent grants cluster around a median size of $2,500, with a lower quartile of $371 and an upper quartile of $10,000, alongside a smaller set of large strategic awards. The same grantees appear across multiple years, especially Society for Science and the Public, Raspberry Pi Foundation affiliates, Children Now, and Envision Excellence in Stem Education, indicating ongoing partnership rather than one-off support. The foundation is a regular funder and also funds individuals. Its pattern suggests a mix of major program grants and many smaller awards tied to competitions, ecosystem coordination, and partner support. Several grants are explicitly for project development, capacity building, or technical support rather than unrestricted operating support.
