Ada Developers Academy and Community Credit Lab partnered to focus on increasing equity in tech.

Ada Developers Academy is a non-profit, tuition-free coding school for women and gender diverse adults. Ada focuses on serving low income people, underrepresented minorities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community in Seattle and the surrounding region.

Community Credit Lab provides community-funded, 0% interest loans to people going through Ada’s immersive software development training program that prepares gender minorities to successfully enter software development careers.

Realize Impact lent $50,000 to Community Credit Lab, thanks to two donations from Seattle Foundation donor advised funds.
