Support IP Education by Making a Donation
Please consider making a gift to IPO Education Foundation. IPO Education Foundation envisions a world that appreciates that intellectual property drives innovation and creativity. We believe that IP rights are a powerful driver of innovation and economic growth and our programs are created to inspire and educate the next generation.
IPOEF wants to scale up the education of underrepresented students, teachers, and administrators to understand and value the IP system as a benefit to all. We are raising money to educate the next generation about the role intellectual property plays in driving prosperity and enriching life in our communities.
We want to be able to take on projects like:
- Expand the “IP Education for Next Gen Innovators” toolkit to reach a broader audience by creating a free, virtual course
- Host an in-person activity in 2025 to teach DC students about IP
- Connect students with mentors leveraging custom IP curriculum
