Donate Today — 10 Years of Opening Doors, Help Us Fund the Next Chapter

Ten years ago, Girls For Technology was founded on a belief that felt simple but demanded everything.

Every young person, regardless of zip code, background, or circumstance, deserves access to the tools that create economic opportunity.

Over the past decade, we have served more than 4,000 young people. We have opened doors to technology careers, workforce readiness, and career pathways that many of our students had never imagined for themselves.

We never got to celebrate our 10th anniversary the way we wanted to.

So we are doing something better. We are building what comes next.

Here is what 10 years in this work has taught us. Opening the door is not enough.

We have watched brilliant young people walk through every door we opened and still struggle to build financial stability on the other side. Not because they lacked talent or drive. But because nobody taught them what to do once they got inside.

Nobody explained how credit works. Nobody walked them through what happens to their paycheck before they ever see it. Nobody showed them the difference between income and wealth or how to turn one into the other.

Credit card companies target young people the moment they step onto a college campus. Debt follows them before they earn their first real paycheck. And the financial education that should have prepared them was simply not there.

That is the gap Girls For Technology is closing in our 11th year.

This April, Financial Literacy Month, we are launching the GFT Financial Survival Guide.

A free, practical financial literacy resource built specifically for young people navigating credit card offers, first paychecks, student debt, and the early financial decisions that shape the next 20 years of their lives.

We are going to them into schools, onto college campuses, and through our network of community and nonprofit partners. Because economic mobility does not happen in a building. It happens wherever young people already are.

Our goal is to reach 500 young people with this resource by April 30, 2026.

We need $25,000 to make it happen.

Here is exactly what your gift does.

• $50 puts one Financial Survival Guide into the hands of one young person.
• $100 helps 3 young people with credit, tax, and wealth-building tools.
• $250 reaches 8 young people with the full GFT financial literacy toolkit.
• $1,000 funds a complete virtual workshop for 30 young people.
• $5,000 makes your organization the founding sponsor of this resource, with your name on every copy that reaches every young person this year.

We are actively seeking a founding financial sponsor, a bank, financial institution, or corporation that understands financial literacy is not charity. It is infrastructure.

Girls For Technology has spent 10 years proving that economic mobility is possible when young people are given real tools, real strategy, and real support.

We are now in the most intentional season we have ever been in, expanding virtually, deepening our community partnerships, and building the infrastructure for the next decade of impact.

We did not get to celebrate our 10th anniversary the way we wanted to.

So we are doing something better. We are building what comes next, and we are asking you to build it with us.

Every dollar moves a young person closer to economic freedom.
