The Ada Initiative is a not for profit organization with the goal of supporting women in open technology and culture. The organization is currently fundraising for operating expenses through March of next year. They are very close to reaching their goal, but need your help! I’m a recurring supporter of the organization, and have just made another donation in solidarity with Sumana and Leonard’s generous offer of a $10,000 matching donation towards this goal.

If you want women to increase women’s participation in open source and you want women to feel welcome and safe doing so, please consider a contribution. Your money will be used for many awesome programs, including: imposter syndrome training, career development resources, supporting women in submitting their first patches, resources for conference organizers, and much more.
