Women Who Code’s Post

Women supporting women is the best part of today. And thankfully there are organizations that make it their mission to support women 24/7/365. I chose to highlight 3️⃣ . If you have the means, consider a donation to keep the support flowing. And might I add briefly: thank you, thank you, thank you, to every single woman who has gotten me to this point in my life. You know who you are. The world is lucky to know you, to have you, and to keep you. You are an immeasurable force. Three Organizations Making an Impact: 1. Girls Who Code: Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does. https://lnkd.in/eb2B7K2v 2. Women Deliver: Women Deliver’s advocacy drives investment — political and financial — in the lives of girls and women, in all their diversity. https://lnkd.in/eqq9qYCa 3. The Girl Scouts: Girl Scouts of the USA funds research, program, and technology innovation, benefitting Girl Scouts nationally. https://lnkd.in/e5X27jND #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #empowerwomen  #inspireinclusion #iwd2024 #investinwomen

Did you hear?! The American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER) has recently sued the Atlanta-based Fearless Fund – led by Black women and committed to providing grants, tools, and mentorship to women of color – claiming that it's program for Black female entrepreneurs is racially discriminatory. We believe that philanthropic organizations, charitable nonprofits, and individual donors should have the right to exercise their values and views through giving money and other resources, as protected by the First Amendment. That includes efforts to support historically marginalized groups! As you know, we’re committed to addressing the inequities in the ecosystem, and providing historically excluded people with grants and tools is highly vital in creating a shift. It’s necessary to use our voices, unite and speak up to ensure this shift toward equity is possible. This is why we’ve signed a petition in resistance to this lawsuit, and in favor of continuing the philanthropic work that prioritizes historically excluded individuals. We believe that addressing inequity requires prioritizing those who have been excluded, and lawsuits like this one only create more challenges to this mission. This petition is a call on the courts to dismiss this lawsuit and uphold the First Amendment rights of philanthropic organizations, charitable nonprofits, and individual donors to give in ways that align with their values. If you’d like to sign in support of the petition and stand together in support of philanthropy and equity, visit the link below: https://bit.ly/428cr1A #genderequalityintech #techleaders #womenintechnology #genderequality #inclusivetech #inclusivity #computerscience #womeninstem #equityintech #entrepreneurship #womenintech #genderequity #GETcommunity #innovation #technology #leadership #investment #startups #community #accelerator #blackintech #racialequity #womenintech #indigenoustech #latinasintech #blackwomenintech #latinosintech #latinx #getcities #getcitieshubs

Real and lasting joy comes from making someone else grow, feel supported and find their joy. Those of us who get to do this both professionally and personally, experience the unbridled joy and sense of peace come from living a life of significance creating positive impact. https://lnkd.in/exAc64Z2

Here I am in Amsterdam And I feel we've really done it again with the panel: You see, putting together a group of specialists on a topic is hard when you're trying to get different angles on the same theme. Tomorrow, we'll be taking questions on "warming your audience". So I've brought together five specialists in different fields for you: two who use the visual in their design and brand work two from the copywriting space, focused on the power of words and one from video Between the five of them, they have decades and decades of experience. And as you can imagine, they'll all look at the problem in different ways. Even better is YOU get to ask the first six questions! And for each question asked, I'll donate an additional €15 to our official, local charity partner Women Win. Women Win's purpose is to tackle gender injustice and advance the rights of girls & women* This means your opportunity is two-fold: you can have your questions answered while simultaneously helping move the needle for others in an intentional way. So ask your question in the comments below. And do consider donating too (link in the first comments) -- #RichTips #events #charity #networking #philanthropy *Women Win supports all girls, women, non-binary people, and more intentionally those from minority and underrepresented communities such as black, indigenous, mestizas, people of colour, and LGBTQI+

One way that women can change the culture of philanthropy is by increasing funding and attention for nonprofits that focus specifically on empowering women and girls. A 2016 study by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute found that only 1.6% of philanthropic funds are given to organizations that primarily serve women and girls. This includes organizations focused on issues like gender-based violence, gender equity in the workforce, breast cancer awareness and research, and opportunities in STEM. As women continue to earn and inherit a larger percentage of wealth in the United States, I am hopeful that women will feel empowered to increase their engagement with organizations that support other women.
