The future of the life sciences depends on visionary leadership, inclusive innovation, and a workforce that reflects the world it serves. At Women In Bio, we believe that empowering women in all areas of the life sciences — from research and entrepreneurship to leadership and mentorship — is essential to building a more resilient, competitive, and sustainable industry.
That’s where you come in.
When you become a Champion for Women In Bio, you’re not just making a donation: you’re helping shape the future of our field. Whether you give personally, amplify our message, request a corporate match, or use a donor-advised fund, your support helps us deliver the tools, training, and community women need to lead and thrive.
When you give to Women In Bio, you’re not just supporting individuals — you’re strengthening the infrastructure of innovation across the life sciences. Your contribution fuels three interconnected areas that are critical to future-proofing the industry:
Breakthroughs begin with bold thinking, but ideas need the right environment to grow. Your donation supports programs that encourage exploration, foster leadership, and give rise to new models, methods, and innovations. By investing in people, you’re creating the conditions for powerful ideas to take root and transform our industry.
Our work drives long-term change across the entire life sciences sector. When women succeed, teams are stronger, organizations are more resilient, and solutions are more inclusive. Your support fuels mentorship, leadership development, and pathways to advancement — creating a ripple effect that benefits not just individuals, but companies, communities, and the broader economy.
Your gift helps build a more inclusive, accessible life sciences community, one where professionals at every stage feel supported, seen, and equipped to grow. From students and early-career talent to seasoned leaders and mentors, your support expands access to the tools, networks, and opportunities that help people thrive.
Our members, volunteers, sponsors and partners are what makes us great. It is because of these passionate individuals that we are able to engage, empower and enrich the continuum.
Your tax-deductible donation fuels lasting impact in the future of women in life sciences. By supporting our mission and our work, you are enabling the next generation of STEM and life science leaders to grow and thrive, from the classroom to the boardroom.
A Friend & Family Champion is someone who not only donates but also invites their personal and professional network to support Women In Bio. Whether you ask a friend, colleague, mentor, or loved one to join you, you’re helping build a stronger and more connected community.
Anyone who cares about science, leadership, or creating a more vibrant future for the life sciences. Our programs are open to all — members, allies, industry partners — and every contribution helps expand access to education, mentorship, and opportunity.
Not at all. You can simply share our donation link or campaign story via email, text, or social media. We’ll provide templates and graphics to make it easy. A personal message goes a long way.
Every dollar makes a difference. When combined with others, every gift creates real impact. And by encouraging others to give too, you multiply your contribution — and your reach.
This Champion uses their employer’s matching gift program to multiply their impact. Thousands of companies match employee donations — sometimes doubling or tripling the original gift.
Start by checking your HR portal or employee giving site. You can also ask your HR, payroll, or corporate responsibility team directly. If you’re unsure, we can help you look it up.
Yes! Most companies allow you to request a match after making a donation. In many cases, you have up to 12 months to submit the request.
Processing times vary by employer, but typically take 4–8 weeks. That’s why we recommend submitting match requests early if you want them counted in this calendar year.
Absolutely — and we hope you do! We’ll provide you with messaging you can use to spread the word internally.
You can still be a Corporate Champion by advocating for Women In Bio at your workplace. Some companies offer grants, volunteer hour matches, or sponsorships — we’d love to work with you on partnership ideas.
