Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity and unity where communities unite to support causes that make a difference. At the Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTMHQ), Giving Tuesday holds special significance as it marks the start of our annual celebration: 12 Days of AUTMHQ.
This holiday season, we’re focused on creating meaningful opportunities, uplifting our community, and driving innovation to bridge the digital divide. With your support, we can continue our mission to increase diversity in tech and empower underrepresented communities with the tools and skills they need to thrive.
Why Giving Tuesday Matters
At AUTMHQ, we believe that diversity fuels innovation and equitable access to technology is critical for creating a better future. Your contributions on Giving Tuesday help us:
Provide digital literacy training and career development programs for individuals seeking to enter the tech industry.
Host impactful events like ReThink Austin, which fosters conversations about equity, tech, and community growth.
Expand access to opportunities through initiatives like our job board, mentorship programs, and career pipelines.
