💙 Community Contributions: Every Gift Counts

Not everyone can commit to a sponsorship package and that’s okay. Every single contribution helps us move closer to our goal of sending 60 students to AfroTech 2026.

Whether it’s $25, $50, or whatever you can give, your support directly funds flights, lodging, and tickets for students who might not otherwise have this opportunity.

This is more than a donation — it’s an investment in the future of Black innovators, creators, and leaders.

Ways to Give:
•    One‑time donations of any amount
•    Monthly recurring gifts (e.g., $25/month)
•    In‑kind support (printing, supplies, transportation, etc.)

Recognition:
All community donors will be listed on our website and thanked publicly in our recap video, because every gift is part of the story that makes this trip possible.

"AfroTech isn’t just a conference — it’s a launchpad. As a cybersecurity student, I know the chance to meet recruiters, innovators, and mentors will change the trajectory of my career. Without this trip, I wouldn’t have access to those doors opening."
