$8,000 Goal

Thank YOU for the $10k raised through past North Texas Giving Days! 

YOU enabled us to secure an additional $263k from the Texas Workforce Commission and Clark University to grant 23 fully funded scholarships to unemployed and underemployed young adults in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, Austin, Tyler and Houston. 21 graduated with a success mindset plus a software development certificate. We're actively supporting them to launch their technology careers in a very difficult job market for entry-level positions, and nearly half have succeeded.

We thank the American Woodmark Foundation for their $4k matching fund contribution and will use your generous donations to continue to empower the other half.
