If anyone wants to apply for this grant, I'd love to support your
application.
I think any of us could apply for this and run a really nice workshop
for women in our communities. Since it is a grant for up to $1000, it
would be a pretty cool opportunity to do some electronics. Or , really,
anything else you might feel like teaching.
"Projects are expected to benefit one or more women or girls in an
activity related both to the field of computing and to being a woman. We
expect the project to have some lasting effect. We will not fund
purchases of food or gifts, and we do not contribute to other
organizations. We do fund equipment, educational costs, conference
costs, books, supplies for hands-on activities and other expenses
related to activities involving computing technology. If you are in
doubt, please email your questions to us at "passiton-2013spring AT
systers DOT org"."
Anita Borg as an organization is, to the best of my knowledge,
supportive for transgender and intersex people who identify as women.
Best,
liz

Dear Systers,
I would like to invite applications for the Spring Round of the
Pass-It-On Awards. The *Anita Borg Systers Pass-It-On (PIO) Awards
*honor Anita Borg’s desire to create a network of technical women
helping one another. The cash awards, funded exclusively by donations
from the Systers Online Community, are intended as means for women
established in technological fields to support women seeking their
place in the fields of technology. The program is called “Pass-It-On”
because it comes with the moral obligation to “pass on” the benefits
gained from the award.
**Women of all ages (over 18), nationalities, and backgrounds are
encouraged to apply.**
*The deadline to apply for the Spring 2013 round is *Wednesday April 10,
2013 at 12:00noon PST (UT-8)*.
Reference letters are due on Wednesday April 24, 2013 at 5:00 PM PST (UT-8).

like to apply, you can read about the awards online at:
