26%. That’s the percentage of software developers who are women
Only 4% of these software developers are women of color. When you donate to Ada, you drive gender and racial equity in the tech sector, helping us build resilient economies and thriving communities.
Are you ready to help more Adies break into the tech industry? Support future Adies to make their tech journey possible.
