DURHAM – Rewriting the Code, a nonprofit with a global community of women in technology, has received $800,000 from the Reboot Representation Tech Coalition to expand the number of Black, Latina, and Indigenous women pursuing collegiate degrees in technology and computing.
According the organization, the grant will allow Rewriting the Code “to create more programs and opportunities for Black and Latina members, and to leverage combined intersectional communities of almost 2,000 women to develop a more robust national platform for necessary institutional change in the tech industry.”
In addition, the grant allows the nonprofit to better connect its community with role models, mentors, education, and workplace opportunities.
