Donate to IYM
how your donation will transform the future
IYM has a goal – to see more young women studying and working in the STEMM sector.
Why? Because currently they are under-represented in STEMM – yet we know that diversity and inclusivity advances innovation, creativity and problem solving. IYM is about encouraging young women from diverse geographic, economic and cultural backgrounds, to pursue STEMM study and career pathways to become our future change makers.
Your generous support is paying it forward to achieve this goal.
IYM is a charitable trust – CC56684. All donations of $5.00 or more are tax deductible.
