SWE’s Life Members in Detroit are our heroes for the next generation of women in tech! This holiday season, we met our initial goal for fundraising for our SWE 4 Life Endowed Scholarship Program. So for the rest of the SWE year, I challenge those who have not contributed yet to help us decrease our time table from 5 years to 4 years to finish our third endowment! This means another $1000 for life available by our 69th section anniversary instead of our 70th! The SWE Detroit fundraising team will work on requesting an additional match for this SWE year, but we NEED YOUR HELP to raise another $500 for the same time frame to give us a solid base for our new goal!
If you know any of the SWE Detroit Life Members, please help us communicate to them.
Not a Life Member? No problem, anyone can donate to the fund (some have already). Every little bit helps, so we encourage you to donate if you can. Your donation is tax deductible.
The program will be tracked separately from the Member Solicitation Program and have its own levels:
Diamond $ 1000 +
Sapphire $ 500 to $ 999
Emerald $ 250 to $ 499
Quartz $ 50 to $ 249
Contributions will be tracked yearly and the level will be determined based on accumulated contributions received by SWE Detroit.
To donate online to any of our programs, go to www.swedetroit.org and look for the Donate Button on the site for Paypal. After you submit your information and input your donation amount, you will have the opportunity to designate your donation. Please input in the text field to allow it to be allocated appropriately: “SWE 4 Life Endowed Scholarship or Life Members Endowed Scholarship”, “Josie E. Rewald Memorial Scholarship”, “Torch Award”, “Past Presidents Scholarship”, specify another program, or the general fund.
