Join us for A Women in Science Portland Fundraising Dinner & Silent Auction
Thursday, September 18 l 6 - 9 p.m.
Join us for an evening of aid, connection, and community in support of diverse genders in science. This special dinner will spotlight the achievements and impact of WIS PDX programs of the past year that were made possible by your support, and look forward to 2026 WIS PDX programming with continued commitment to advancing equity in STEM, even as we face growing challenges from a national leadership that continues to devalue science and evidence-based progress.
Together, we’ve built something remarkable. Now we need your continued support to use the foundation we’ve built to:
Support Women and Gender Minority Trainees: We aim to expand our scholarship programs in 2026, opening more doors for the next generation of women and gender-diverse scientists.
Guide Career Transitions for Women & Gender Minorities in STEM: We are launching our first-ever WIS PDX Conference in 2026 to equip women and gender minorities at all levels with the tools to navigate career transitions.
Strengthen WIS PDX Community Relationships: Expand our presence in the community by partnering with local non-profits, and continue providing programming that reaches a wider audience
This is more than a fundraiser; it’s a call to action. Let’s come together to celebrate how far we've come and ensure we have the resources to meet the moment ahead.
Help us raise $12,000 to sustain and grow this vital work. Your presence, partnership, and passion make all the difference.
WIS PDX provides connection, community, and career development in an interdisciplinary forum. Together, we advocate to empower and advance women in science.
