Giving Tuesday—often stylized as #GivingTuesday—is a movement to create an international day of charitable giving to your favorite nonprofit(s) at the beginning of the holiday season. This year, Giving Tuesday is November 29th. Donations help us fund our K-12 programs, global outreach, and scholarships.
One of the most impactful ways existing members can help us guarantee these programs’ longevity is by becoming Life Members. Through a one-time donation of $2,000, members gain access to all the benefits of SWE for life, while ensuring SWE’s continued advocacy for women in engineering and technology.
In the words of Life Members:
“A few years ago, the Annual Conference theme was “Life’s Variable, SWE’s Your Constant.” This theme resonates so strongly with me – as I’ve moved from city to city, from job to job, and from collegiate to professional, SWE has been there every step of the way. Because of SWE, I’ve landed internships and jobs, grown my skills personally and professionally, and been able to give back to others by volunteering locally and on society-wide committees. Most importantly, I’ve made lifelong friendships and broadened my community in ways I never thought possible.”
— Nicole Woon, Life Member since 2015
“SWE is a community of support, encouragement, and inspiration. Becoming a life member meant that I would not only always have access to that community, but also that I could help ensure that the community persists beyond my lifetime – it allows me to give back to the next generation who can be just as inspired by SWE members as I always am!”
— Rachel Morford, Life Member since 2017
Many employers offer matching gift programs, workplace giving campaigns, or make a donation to a 501(c)3 in honor of your volunteer time and efforts. To find out if your company provides any of these options, please check with your Human Resources Department.
