Learn more about AWT and our dedication to 
increasing the influence of women in technology!

100% of our fundraising proceeds support the AWT Charitable Foundation.

AWT is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the careers of women in technology. We do this through awarding scholarships, developing leaders, and creating community.

Established in 2005, the AWT Charitable Foundation 501(c)(3) provides scholarships to women in California studying technology at four-year institutions.

Since 2005, the AWT Charitable Foundation has awarded over $870,000 in scholarships to women studying at California colleges in pursuit of a career in technology.

Our scholarship awards are made possible through the generous support of our members, community, and industry friends. Our supporters, through their commitment to higher education, play an active role in the future of technology.

AWT’s California fundraising forums and events throughout the year attract both men and women from every area of technology and our members include those just entering the field as well as those holding mid- and senior-level technical and management positions.
