Overview

Mission

Increase diversity in data careers.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education - women in data connected 9,670 individuals through educational events designed to foster community, learning, and leadership. From virtual gatherings to in-person experiences, these events provided members with valuable opportunities to share knowledge, build relationships, and engage with thought leaders. This program continues to be a powerful driver of connection and support within the women in data community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
