The IEEE Women in Engineering Committee (WIEC) encourages development of local activities that are of educational and professional value to IEEE members and that increase the visibility of the WIE Affinity Group. To assist WIE Affinity Groups the WIEC has a limited amount of funding available to support such activities.

Newly established WIE Affinity Groups are eligible to request up to US $200 in start up funding. Established WIE Affinity Groups are eligible to request up to US $300 for special projects. Such requests must be submitted at least 3 months prior to the activity. The WIEC will review the request at their next scheduled meeting. The WIE Affinity Group will be advised if the request has been approved. The WIEC may consider funding beyond US $300 if a project is considered especially valuable to the WIE mission.

To apply for this funding, a the following Funding Request Form must be submitted.
