The Ada Initiative
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing participation of women in open technology and culture.
By now, most people in open technology and culture have noticed the scarcity of women in their communities, and want to change that. They just don’t know how. That’s where we come in. Our strategy for change is simple: Give concrete, straight-forward advice to willing and eager audiences.

Thank-you gifts
We have great schwag again for this campaign, with thank-you gifts for donations as low as $32. The thank-you gifts for each donation level include all the thank-you gifts from lower levels.
Goal
Back in July, 103 people and groups donated $512 or more, raising $80,000 in three weeks for the Seed 100 campaign. This time, we aim to raise $100,000 in two months, by January 31st, 2012. Help us reach our goal! If you couldn’t donate then, now’s your chance.
Why donate to us?
To learn more about the Ada Initiative, see our pages on what we do and who we are. We also just posted a series on how we are organized (part 1, part 2), how we spent the money we raised so far, and how we plan to use money from this donation drive.
More questions? See our FAQ.
Help spread the word
You can help women in open technology and culture by spreading the word about this fundraising drive!
Emailing a friend directly is the most effective thing you can do to spread the word. People are far more likely to donate as the result of a personal email than any other online method.
