A Great Big Thanks!
A big thank you to everyone who made hEr VOLUTION their charity of choice for Giving Tuesday! Your generosity ensured that we could fund 19 households with one month of internet, which is enough to attend our STEMing UP program in the summer.
Didn’t get a chance to give?
Don’t worry, there’s still time to make your online donation today.
Do you wish to keep supporting hEr VOLUTION?
Become a hEr VOLUTION Hero and consider making a monthly gift. Monthly giving is truly the best way to support us and is the safest, simplest and most effective way to donate. A little bit goes a very long way and that’s why our hEr VOLUTION Heroes are very important to us.
Give the Gift of Education Today!
Today is Giving Tuesday!
Create tomorrow’s possibilities and make a gift to hEr VOLUTION to support girls’ and young women’s pursuit of education and careers in STEM. Particularly those in underserved communities.
Here is what a STEMing UP student had to say about how the program empowered her:
“When I think about all the female engineers who have told me “I wish I had this opportunity when I was your age” makes me realize how far we’ve come, but it also reminds me of how much progress we as a society still need to make — I want to help bridge the gender gap in STEM as an aspiring engineer.”
Use your holiday giving power to empower the next generation of girls to develop the confidence and independence to be leaders in STEM. This givingTuesday consider becoming a monthly donor to help support the next generation of leaders.
A donation of $65 will subsidize the internet cost for one household for one month.
Will you be here for us tomorrow?
The holiday season is upon us and you’ve kicked-off with shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now we ask that you begin your giving season with hEr VOLUTION.
Tomorrow, November 30th, is Giving Tuesday. Make a donation and give the gift of an opportunity. hEr VOLUTION aims to inspire young women and girls to achieve a better education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and to embrace STEM careers. A donation of $65 will subsidize the internet cost for one household for one month!
This GivingTuesday, use your holiday giving power to help ensure that opportunities in STEM are created for the next generation of women.
Let’s keep going with the #Unselfie!
We’d like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to you for encouraging others to support us on this journey. We can’t wait to see your #unselfie online.
Did you get to post your #Unselfie yet? No worries if you didn’t, we know these things may be intimidating for so many reasons and we are here to help. We can share your support on your behalf. All you have to do is send us your #Unselfie photo with the message you’d like to share and we will share it on our social media channels on your behalf with a special thank you message. And, if you are sharing this on someone else’s behalf, be sure to let us know so we can tag them on social media and let them know in turn.
Thank you to everyone that donated, shared and supported us so far. Let’s keep the momentum going and please continue to donate, share your #Unselfie and support us unconditionally.
Thank you again!
Let the #Unselfie 2021 season begin
GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. After the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and nonprofits. Whether it’s making a donation, volunteering time, helping a neighbour or spreading the word, GivingTuesday is a movement for everyone who wants to give something back. #GivingTuesdayCA is the Canadian version of #GivingTuesday.
How is hEr VOLUTION engaging you on #GivingTuesday this year?
For 4 weeks before GivingTuesday, starting on November 1, 2021, we encourage our supporters to help raise funds, but mostly raise awareness about the cause they care about, in this case, hEr VOLUTION. Here is how it works:
- Step 1: Download & Print the #Unselfie poster
- Step 2: Write down why you support hEr VOLUTION
- Step 3: Take a picture holding the poster (hint: get a friend to take a picture of you holding the poster)
- Step 4: Post the picture on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) telling the world why you support hEr VOLUTION using the #Unselfie & #GivingTuesdayCA hashtags and tag us at @her_volution
- Step 5: Tell your friends about this campaign and ask them to support your cause with you!
That’s it! We can’t wait to see your social media activity!
