Women in STEM Fund
Did you know that only 34% of the workforce in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are women? Even though women make up the larger portion of college graduates, they only account for around 22% of engineering, 20% of computer science and 21% of physics degrees.
Our Women in STEM Fund financially supports, and shines a spotlight on, the inspiring women who pursue scientific education, research and careers.
Children’s Health Fund
Research on pediatric diseases is of utmost importance; however, this field remains among the underfunded areas of research with a declining 3.5% of average annual NIH budget being devoted to it.
You can improve this funding gap by becoming a one time or monthly contributor to our Children’s Health Fund!
Your contributions will be allocated to support researchers and pre-vetted projects that actively advance scientific knowledge and innovation.
