The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), a non-profit community comprising over 1,500 corporations, universities, non-profits, and government organizations, is dedicated to significantly enhancing the participation of girls and women in computing, making their impact both meaningful and influential. The NCWIT organization is part of the College of Engineering & Applied Science at the University of Colorado-Boulder. It spans both university staffing, financial and legal procedures, and in addition, receives funding from a non-profit 501(c)(3), to implement financial, legal, and governance procedures on its behalf.

The NCWIT Workforce Alliance (WA), a representation of nearly 100 global companies and four million employees, is focused on fostering inclusive cultures, bolstering technical team strength, and driving innovation.

Using social science theory and evidence, NCWIT's Affinity Alliance, in conjunction with its resource library, provides actionable insights for change leaders to drive effective cultural and environmental transformation. The Affinity Alliance's contribution aligns with NCWIT's mission, creating research-based resources to catalyze awareness and motivation for systemic change.
