toBE FUND is committed to empowering women in STEM. The name "toBE" reflects our philosophy that women should have the power "to BE" whatever they aspire to be - skilled, ambitious, strong, empowered, successful, and much more.
toBE FUND aims to foster diversity and equality in the tech industry, ensuring that women have the opportunity to excel and succeed in this dynamic field by offering scholarships for students and grants for skills enhancement and entrepreneurship.
toBE FUND supports and encourages women to pursue a career in the STEM industry by removing financial barriers that often prevent them from reaching their full potential.
toBE FUND scholarships and grants are financially supported by our cornerstone sponsor Signalink.
Our scholarship for students is designed to provide financial assistance to female high school students who want to pursue a degree in STEM-related fields. The scholarship aims to provide assistance and motivation to women who aspire to build careers in STEM and to play a role in reducing the gender disparity within the industry.
Our grant for skills enhancement is designed to support women who are seeking to improve their skills and enter or advance careers in STEM-related fields. The grant aims to provide financial assistance and resources to help women overcome barriers and achieve their professional goals through skills enhancement courses, classes or certifications.
Our entrepreneurship grant is designed to provide financial assistance and support to female entrepreneurs who are starting or growing their own technology-related businesses. The grant aims to help address the gender gap in entrepreneurship and promote diversity and innovation in the STEM industry.
As owners of Signalink, we wanted to take a moment to share the motivations behind our partnership with the WIT // HSV and toBE FUND.
When we began our journey with Signalink, our vision was to create a dynamic and innovative presence in the Huntsville community. We were driven by a passion for technology and a desire to make a tangible impact on the world. But as we delved deeper into this industry, we couldn't help but notice a stark imbalance - a lack of gender diversity that was hindering the industry's potential for growth and progress.
The motivation behind our sponsorship of the toBE FUND stems from our shared belief in the power of diversity. We firmly believe that innovation flourishes when different perspectives, experiences, and talents converge. By supporting women in STEM, we are not only addressing a glaring inequity but also enriching the tech industry with the unique skills and insights that women bring to the table.
Our sponsorship is driven by a profound conviction that women in the workplace represent a wealth of untapped potential. When women are provided with opportunities, guidance, and resources, they can, and do, transform the tech landscape. We have witnessed firsthand the incredible contributions made by women in our field, and it has only solidified our commitment to the WIT // HSV's mission. In essence, our motivation is rooted in the belief that inclusivity benefits everyone. It enhances the quality of products and services, fosters a culture of innovation, and ensures that the landscape better mirrors the diversity of the world it serves.
We deeply appreciate the opportunity to support a shared belief in this vision. Together, we can work towards a future where women are not just participants in the technology industry, but leaders, innovators, and champions of change.
Sincerely,
Alice and Steve Lessmann
