What is iGive?
The iGive program is a way for Microsoft to “give back” to the communities that we live in and serve.  It is part of the overall corporate citizenship pillar of key initiatives that we all embrace as part of our work at Microsoft. For example, in honor of National Women’s History month, iGive supported the YWCA by raising money and helping raise awareness about their mission to eliminate racism and empower women. How it works: donate $5 or more to donorschoose.org and show us your printed receipt, or stop by the Coding4Fun booth and donate online, and we’ll give you a t-shirt!

What makes the iGive shirt so special?
It’s Microsoft like you have never seen it! Finally, there are shirts for women! You can bring one home for your wife or daughter. The front of shirt has real Swarovski crystal gems.  These shirts are limited in number, so make sure you get one!

Who is DonorsChoose.org?
DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project which range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class. Then you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school. You'll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.

Visit us at the Coding4Fun booth!
