Giving Joy strengthens and inspires women entrepreneurs worldwide, particularly those from underserved or marginalized communities, through one-time micro grants and mentorship programs. We believe that all women should have the opportunity to sustain themselves. Women from all technical areas, fields, industries and geographies are eligible to apply for a one-time micro grant. The micro grant (up to $500) serves as a boost or stepping stone—giving women entrepreneurs critical resources to start businesses, acquire skills, sustain operations, improve ideas, and advance gender equality worldwide.

Volunteer activities have included:

• Reviewing grant applications

• Fundraising coordination
