The SEP Foundation: Focused on What Matters
Since 1988, people and community have been at the heart of our success as a tech company. That’s why we created The SEP Foundation, to give back and help our neighbors who deserve the same opportunities.
We support those who have faced tough times and believe everyone should have a chance at a brighter future. We focus on strengthening the tech community, fighting hunger, empowering young people, and helping veterans and families reach their goals.
Our Foundation’s Mission
Everyone in our community should have the opportunity to overcome the barriers and confines of poverty. We use our time, talents, and financial resources to help veterans and families experiencing hardships achieve self-sufficiency.
Where We Focus Our Support
We’re passionate about giving back to the communities where we live and work. We partner with organizations that help individuals and families overcome challenges and build self-sufficiency, and we also love supporting local efforts through hands-on volunteering.
Together, these efforts bring our Foundation’s mission to life:

The SEP Foundation Maker Scholarship
In 2020, our dream of establishing a scholarship fund to support underrepresented groups pursuing further education in STEAM became a reality.
The SEP Foundation Maker Scholarship is awarded annually and is open to any Central Indiana resident. The scholarship helps students pursue a degree in a STEAM field at any accredited college, university, technical, vocational, or trade school in Indiana.
