For what it's worth, Girls Who Code -- an organization more directly focused on improving the "pipeline" through training programs aimed at K-12 and college students -- seems to be thriving, with over $20M in donations from a variety of tech organizations in 2023: https://girlswhocode.com/2023report/ https://girlswhocode.com/2023report/

- shmatt 2y agothis deserves to be much higher than a sub-sub-sub-sub comment the fact one DEI organization failed doesn't mean DEI failed. They could be mis managed just like any other non profit
- arduanika 2y agoAgreed, I didn't know the difference and at a glance thought it was Girls Who Code that folded. It could be that as the "vibe shifts" away from DEI and the funding gets smaller, we'll see a culling where only some orgs survive, hopefully the best ones. "When the tide goes out..."
- pedalpete 2y agoThank you. I was confusing these as being the same organization, and I thought Gils Who Code is doing quite well.
