Overview
Mission
Showcase and promote the achievements of yesterdays todays and tomorrows women innovators through a high-tech educational platform to inspire solutions for the future. The NCWI will be a place of discovery delight and insight. Contributions are tax-deductible. Women innovators have been under-recognized if not hidden from mainstream perceptions about who influences society. Womens technical creativity is largely unknown and thereby fails to inspire others while reinforcing the false belief that world solutions are a males domain. This discourages other women and girls while impeding the development of new ideas and inventions from which the world can benefit. A national center is needed to raise public awareness and solutions for the public academic and business communities while inspiring a diverse group of innovative students.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our Program Education expense category was the largest expense during 2024. We built our exhibit highlighting the achievements of Dr. Gladys West.
