We would like to begin our #GivingSeason #GivingTuesday appeals this week by expressing our gratitude to the funders who have supported The Carpentries mission over the years. They have ensured that our organisation and community could achieve the work they have done over the past 25 years #Carpentries25, and we want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the support! #CarpentriesGratitudes 💓
Below, is a thread of appreciation for each of our funders over the years.
🙏 With gratitude, we salute Code for Science for believing in our vision of hosting a virtual Carpentry Connect for South Africa. #EventFund
#CarpentryConnect was funded by a Code for Science & Society grant, made possible by grant number GBMF8449 from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (https://doi.org/10.37807/GBMF8449).

The Toolkit of IDEAS (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Strategies) is a practical resource for Carpentries’ Instructors, helpers, and workshop hosts. We know that many people care about inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility but are not sure how it connects to teaching foundational coding and data science skills. This toolkit aims to bridge this gap. This is version 1, which means it is a starting point and not a fully comprehensive resource. The hope is that the Core Team and community members will continue to update and extend this resource over time.
🌟 Many thanks to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for their generous funding and unwavering support since 2017! Sloan Foundation, your commitment to promoting open-source software drives innovation, and we're proud to be part of this journey together! Visit their website: https://sloan.org/

And lastly, but by no means least, you'll notice from our brief historical timeline that the Python Software Foundation helped us make our lesson material open-source. 🐍🎉 Huge shoutout to @ThePSF for their incredible support - your commitment fosters innovation and empowers developers worldwide.
