Donate to Girls Code the World so that we can make a bigger impact on our community.
Why Should You Donate to Girls Code the World?
Not only does Girls Code the World focus on closing the gender gap for women to enter in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, but we emphasize the importance of women being successful and confident in these fields.
We target low-income and marginalized communities because we know that they are disproportionately affected by systemic bias and infrastructure barriers. We continually adapt how we serve these communities based on feedback we receive from families, students, corporate sponsors, and academic partners.
Our organization believes that if people and institutions work towards empowerment, curiosity, and inclusivity, our world will be a better place.
We provided $17,500 worth of scholarships in Summer 2022 alone.
93% of the students whose families’ applied for or were nominated by a teacher to receive scholarships to attend our 2022 Philadelphia summer programs were Black, Indigenous, or Latinx.
Our Funding Priorities
Integrate Our Curriculum into Existing Academic and Community Programs
Historically, we have hosted our summer programs in our own venues and invited target schools to participate. The feedback we have received is that our main target audience, low-income communities, don’t have the flexibility to sign up for week-long summer programs, especially when their schools provide free options for them that include transportation.
We want to build better partnerships with schools and community organizations by bringing our curriculum into their after-school and summer programming options. This way, we can truly meet students and families where they are at.
Bring STEM into the Home
A big part of creating ripple-effect impact with our programming is making sure that students have a support system at home that empowers them and gives them opportunities to be curious about what STEM can offer. We want to offer a monthly subscription service where families receive materials to participate in live activity sessions with our trained instructors. In addition to live lessons, they will gain access to a database of lessons that don’t require a large amount of at-home materials or supervision.
This program will be an incredible option for families who live rurally, parents who are curious about what STEM looks like outside of the classroom, and students who want something fun to look forward to every month.
