Grant Eligibility

The Reboot Representation Tech Coalition is working to double the number of Black, Latina, and Native American women achieving computing bachelor’s degrees by 2025.

The Coalition welcomes grant inquiries from qualified organizations. Below you will find information about eligibility requirements for all grantees.

What are the minimum qualifications of programs that are funded by the Coalition?

  • Substantively focused on recruiting or retaining Black, Latina, and/or Native American women and girls to gain college-level computing skills, particularly by using the eight building blocks identified in the Rebooting Representation report

  • Implemented by non-profit organizations who:

    Have a significant track record (5+ years) of serving Black, Latina, and/or Native American women

    Are embedded in and trusted by the community they are trying to serve

  • Backed by peer-reviewed research and/or multiple years of impact data, preferably longitudinal data that tracks women from time of intervention until matriculation into post-secondary institutions and/or graduation from post-secondary institution

What programs will the Reboot Representation Tech Coalition prioritize?

  • Programs that are operating in multiple geographies
  • Programs that are leveraging existing organizational infrastructure and/or other funding

Programs that do not meet these criteria are less likely to be considered for funding.  For more information, contact us.

Grantee Spotlight

  • Students need to be aware of what computing is, and I’m talking more than just programming. It’s about understanding computational thinking and computer science principles and how computing impacts your life.

    Ann Quiroz Gates

    Vice Provost | The University of Texas at El Paso

  • We need a movement of abolitionist and Indigenous Sovereignty-focused technologies that support Black liberation and repatriating the land to Indigenous leadership.

    Frieda McAlear

    Senior Research Associate | Kapor Center

  • The most important thing our team does is listen to our students, because we use their feedback as our “north star” when designing core elements of our programs.

    Amy Furman

    Director of Programs | Break Through Tech

  • I wish I had known about the Black women who were featured in Hidden Figures, that Black women played a significant role in computing and could be computer engineers.

    Taliah Givens

    Senior Director of Student Professional Development Programs | UNCF

  • Something I’ve been striving for in my work is how we can push industry, academia, and society to change rather than giving our students and community members tools to fit into a community or society that wasn’t made for them.
