WIT Foundation

The statistics are alarming - according to the National Science Foundation, America lags behind other nations in the number of students majoring in science and engineering at colleges and universities.

Additionally, women make up just 9 percent of those receiving engineering degrees.

With your help – and through the WIT Foundation - we’re changing that statistic.

Founded in 2004, the WIT Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that supports the philanthropic aims of WIT, Inc. The WIT Foundation focuses on pre-career programs, awarding cash grants to area organizations and non-profits focusing on girls and STEM.

WIT starts early guiding women in technology toward success, and the WIT Foundation-created Girls Get IT program is a perfect example. WIT creates a community of middle and high school girls, partners them with local professional women in technology, then helps them make informed decisions about careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
