Investing in the Future.

CSA-Xenia is a tuition-free, STEAM-designated, nonprofit 501(c)(3) academy serving ALL Ohioans with students across 8 counties, 47 districts, and ~174,000 potential students within a 30-mile radius.

  • Fuel Innovation – Equip students to excel in robotics, engineering, visual arts, biotechnology, and performing arts.

  • Strengthen the Region – Develop the next generation of technicians, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders.

  • Leave a Legacy – Build community pride and ensure every child, regardless of background, has access to high-quality, workforce-directed STEAM education.

    More About Why Your Support Matters

SPONSOR IMPACT LEVELS

  • Innovation is central to CSA’s mission, with project-based learning at its core. Named for Dayton inventor Charles F. Kettering, this level of sponsorship honors him for his forward-thinking attitude. We thank you for “starting the engine” for student opportunity and fueling innovation through your leadership.

  • Design thinking drives CSA’s instruction and student projects. Inspired by Dayton inventor John H. Patterson, Design sponsors help “build systems” that shape success — thank you for designing learning environments, projects, and opportunities leading students to create their own designs.

  • Invention reflects exploration, inquiry, and problem-solving — all core elements of STEAM learning. Inspired by Dayton civic leader and Delco co-founder Edward A. Deeds, these sponsors “engineer community growth” by sustaining infrastructure, helping students discover new skills and connecting learning to community.

  • CSA-Xenia champions workforce readiness and entrepreneurship, just like Daniel Mead’s success with the Mead Paper Company. This Dayton-founded company transformed paper innovation into a global enterprise. Enterprise sponsors help build partnerships with business, industry, and the community—fueling internships, apprenticeships, and program growth. Higher-level sponsors “scale innovation,” leaving lasting educational resources.

  • Legacy sponsors embody sustainability and long-term community impact, helping CSA build a strong future in SW Ohio and beyond. Like Dayton’s own Wright brothers—whose innovation forever changed history—these top-tier sponsors “lift CSA to new heights,” leaving a lasting imprint on both the Academy and the community.
