Dear WIB Community,
As 2024 comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for all that Women In Bio has accomplished with your support. Together, we’ve celebrated incredible milestones: 260+ events hosted with an astonishing 14,000 attendees, showcasing the power of community and collaboration; welcomed Los Angeles as our newest chapter, expanding our reach to women in bio across the West Coast; grew to 27,000 LinkedIn followers, spreading our mission further than ever before; launched the WIB Community space, a hub for connection and support for members nationwide; and awarded five Impact Scholarships, empowering women to pursue their dreams in the life sciences.
None of this would have been possible without champions like you—dedicated members of our community who believe in advancing women in the life sciences. That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to join our Champions for Women In Bio Campaign. As a Champion, you can choose how you make an impact:
Friends & Family Champion: Amplify your contribution by encouraging those close to you to support WIB’s mission. Share your story, rally your network, and multiply your impact.
Corporate Match Champion: Many employers match donations to nonprofits. As a Corporate Match Champion, you can double or even triple your gift by leveraging your company’s matching program.
Donor Advised Fund Champion: Use a donor-advised fund to strategically optimize your giving, often combined with employer matching, to make an even greater impact.
Your contributions will fuel WIB’s Entrepreneur Center, support Impact Scholarships, and sustain programs like Young Women In Bio and Mentorship—programs that change lives and advance our mission.

With gratitude,
Gina Ford
Executive Director, Women In Biot
