What we aim to solve
As the tech and data industries become more diverse, it is imperative that diversity be represented in corporate leadership to ensure that the tools and process that power everyday life consider the full implications of their impact for all. In arming women and diverse professionals with the tools they need to climb the corporate ladder, we're bolstering the next generation of leadership to be a more equitable and just one.

WIRe's Global Scholarship Fund
WIRe’s Global Scholarship Fund aligns with our mission to advance the contributions of women in research, both for themselves and the greater good of the industry–particularly in economically challenged or conflict markets.
WIRe Accelerate
WIRe Accelerate is a multi-module, virtual program that can be completed at your own pace. Participants who complete the program and exhibit an understanding of the concepts and skills within will receive a certificate of completion as well as an international cohort of like-minded Industry professionals to connect and grow with. Module content ranges from the concrete — lessons on OKR's, ROI, and career path planning — to the personal, with a special focus on the life changing tips and challenges that women face. Built with parents, caregivers, and students in mind, each module can be completed in under two hours and there is no set timeline for completion.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
