As Tech Sassy Girlz continues to expand our reach throughout the Central Florida region, the need for transformative partnerships and funding are essential to maintain meaningful impact. This month, the NBA Foundation, the league’s first-ever charitable foundation dedicated to driving economic opportunity for Black youth, distributed a whopping $11M in funding to 40 nonprofit organizations throughout the country. 

We’re honored to announce that Tech Sassy Girlz received a grant! 

So what does this mean for Tech Sassy Girlz? Simply put, we’re able to deepen our impact within the current Tech Sassy Girlz community and fund initiatives like our upcoming summer camps and 11th annual Tech Sassy Girlz Day conference, which expose hundreds of young girls to the wonderful world of STEM education. 

Curious about how you can get involved? In addition to financial contributions, Tech Sassy Girlz is actively seeking volunteers and in-kind partners to provide technology, marketing support, and event production services. Make the next step by calling Dr. Laine Powell at  407.476.7274 or by emailing info@techsassygirlz.org.
