Support Our Students

100% of our funding comes from donations and grants — and over 99% of every dollar goes directly to programs

Rugrunners Robotics is entirely community-funded. There are no membership fees that cover our costs, no paid staff, and no executive compensation — every officer and director is an unpaid volunteer. Your donation goes directly to buying robot parts, tools, competition registration, and training materials for robotics competition teams in the Capital Region.
