Move Forward, Not Backward
Blacks in Technology (BIT) Needs Your Support! As a global community of approximately 40,000 members, we have been committed to ‘Stomping The Divide’ by offering accessible opportunities for training, upskilling, mentorship, and more. Now, more than ever, we need your help to continue our mission.
Why Your Support Matters
For years, BIT has been empowering Black professionals in the technology industry through strategic partnerships and alliances. We’ve provided thousands of members with invaluable opportunities at low to no cost, including technical training, professional development, and mentorship programs. However, recent changes in the corporate landscape, particularly the reduction in support for DEI initiatives, have made it harder for us to secure the sponsorships we rely on to continue our work.
The Current Challenge
The diminishing pool of corporate sponsorships has impacted our ability to operate at the scale we once did. This is why we’re turning to you—our community, allies, and supporters—to help sustain BIT’s essential programs and ensure that we continue progressing toward our goal of achieving equity in the tech industry.
