Robotics Sponsorships

Robotics programs are a great way to spark curiosity and drive interest in STEM careers for Florida's students. Throughout the FPL service area, we sponsor teams at all levels of the FIRST® (For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology) family of programs. We also sponsor a number of regional competition events in Florida.

For FIRST® robotics teams that have been in existence for over one year submit the following required documents to maureen.wilt@fpl.com:

  • FPL request for funding form.
  • W-9 with the name, address and federal tax ID number of the entity that will manage your funds
  • If you are a not-for-profit organization, the IRS determination letter 501c3

The following timeline will be used to fund mature teams.

FLL Jr. and FLL: July - Sept.

FTC: July - Sept.

FRC: Sept. - Feb.

Checks are typically issued within six weeks of receiving a request for funding.
