About National Center for Women and Information Technology
National Center for Women and Information Technology centers grantmaking on programs and research that widen inclusion in the technology ecosystem. Its recent records show a strong institutional pattern: large support to the University of Colorado Foundation for NCWIT support in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside program-specific grants tied to computing pathways, educator recognition, scholarships, and regional initiatives. The foundation’s work reaches students from K-12 through graduate school, educators, counselors, and organizations building more inclusive technology cultures. NCWIT also uses grants to sustain named program areas. Recent awards include support for BridgeUP STEM through Georgia Tech, tuition and scholarship funding at multiple colleges and training organizations, and recognition awards connected to its Aspirations in Computing and fellow award programs. The grantees in the recent list include universities, technology councils, and youth-serving organizations, which suggests a mix of institutional support and targeted program funding rather than a single-channel approach. Across the file, the foundation appears to favor grants that reinforce existing NCWIT programs, advance computing participation, and support professional pathways into the field.
What National Center for Women and Information Technology Funds
A major strand of NCWIT’s giving supports student pathways into computing. In 2023, it gave $253,550 to Georgia Institute of Technology for a tuition/scholarship fund, and another $200,000 to Grand Circus Detroit for the same purpose. It also funded Flatirons School with $90,000 for tuition/scholarship support, showing that postsecondary access is a recurring part of its portfolio. The foundation also backs programs for younger learners and educators. In 2025, it granted $170,848 to Georgia Institute of Technology for BridgeUP STEM, a program for low-income, first-generation Atlanta-area high school students. For school-based outreach, it gave $6,000 to West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School for an AspireIT grant. NCWIT’s grantmaking extends to diversity and recognition efforts in the field. Modern Figures Inc received $36,577 for a Color of Our Future grant, and Morehouse College received $15,000 for IAAMCS travel grants.
How National Center for Women and Information Technology Gives
Typical grants cluster around a median of $27,500, with the 25th percentile at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $90,000. The recent list includes a small number of very large institutional support grants and many awards at the $10,000 to $27,500 level, which points to a mixed pattern of core support and program-targeted funding. Recipients can appear across multiple years: the University of Colorado Foundation received three consecutive NCWIT support grants from 2023 through 2025, and Pittsburgh Technology Council appears in both 2024 and 2025. NCWIT is a regular funder, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
