International Women's Day
Donate to help women in science and STEM reach their full potential. Your gift will help advance, recognize, and inspire future women to #DiscoverWhatsNext.
What will you Give to Gain?
Women leave the STEM workforce at twice the rate of men due to the bias, harassment, and inequity that they experience. We cannot afford to lose this talent. Diversity in science and STEM is critical to rapid innovation and the advancement of society. Help us retain women in STEM. Please consider donating in honor of International Women’s Day.
Your support will help us:
- Advance women in science and STEM through scholarships and mentoring
- Empower tomorrow’s women scientists and leaders with training and development
- Energize and inspire women with ideas, resources, and success stories
- Drive systemic change through organizational partnerships and policy changes
You can also share your commitment to #GiveToGain on social media. Post this statement (or write your own) with a photo of yourself in this year’s pose: cupped hands extended in the act of giving or receiving or place on hand on your heart and stretch the other out in the giving gesture.
“Individually and as organizations, we can give encouragement, respect, visibility, opportunities, funding, time, and resources to help women gain gender equality. Join me in celebrating women’s success and challenging discrimination @AWISnational #GiveToGain #InternationalWomensDay”
Note: If you are interested in corporate donations or partnership opportunities, we would love to talk to you!
“AWIS gave me a community of women in science for support and friendship — along with the opportunity to pay it forward.”
