Girls Who Invest

Girls Who Invest is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing gender diversity and inclusion in investment management through education, mentoring, internships, and building a supportive community that helps grow the pipeline of women in investing positions. It provides premier educational training, professional opportunities for long-term success and dedicated spaces for community-building and mentoring.

GWI’s flagship Summer Intensive Program, completed by over 500 scholars to date, enables college sophomores to explore investment management through a free four-week educational training followed by a six-week paid internship at one of more than 100 leading investment management firms. Its second program, the four-month, fully subsidized, self-directed Online Intensive Program, enables scholars to receive training in modules from the CFA Institute, Wall Street Prep, and Wharton Online.

This award provides GWI general operating support to further its mission through a range of activities including recruiting and supporting candidates from nontraditional majors, undergraduate institutions, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with an established a goal of ensuring 25% of Summer Intensive Program scholars are from historically underrepresented communities by 2025.
