Every Gift Helps Keep Tech Accessible
“If GDI weren’t here, we’d lose a rare safe space where people who usually feel isolated or intimidated in other hackathon environments can finally show up fully. Without it, a whole community of beginners and underrepresented voices would lose the support, confidence, and belonging that makes tech feel accessible instead of overwhelming.” - Lajoie, GDI Hackathon Hero
GDI is more than workshops and hackathons—it’s a community where beginners can show up without fear, explore ideas without judgment, and grow with mentors who cheer them on.
There are no other places like this in tech.
Without your support, hundreds of women would lose:
- The confidence to try, fail, and succeed in tech
- Mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals
- A safe, supportive space to learn and build
- The connections that spark collaboration, innovation, and careers
Your donation directly funds:
- Free and low-cost workshops that make tech accessible
- Mentorship programs that empower beginners
- Hackathons where underrepresented voices are celebrated
- Scholarships, resources, and ongoing support for learners
Give today and keep the spark alive. Together, we’re building a future where tech belongs to everyone.
