We set a goal of $10,000. You raised $30,000 for Adies.
This spring, the Ada community showed up in a way that honestly left us speechless. To the Adies who gave from their first tech salaries, the board members who rallied their networks, the volunteers and Instructors who shared this everywhere, and the monthly donors who have been with us for years, thank you!
And to Cynthia Tee, whose match made every dollar go twice as far: we are so grateful.
This community never stops amazing us. 💛

"From my cohort peers to mentors, instructors, and industry professionals, I’ve formed a network of people who understand the challenges of breaking into tech and genuinely want to help each other grow." That's how a Lorraine Shi, a Cohort 22 Adie described her time at Ada Developers Academy.
Ask any Ada graduate how they got here, and you'll hear about a mentor who said the right thing at the right time, an internship manager who made room for real questions, a teacher who stayed late, or a volunteer who showed up to coach interview prep on a Saturday. Behind every Adie is a community.
Adies, who showed up for you? Tag the mentors, internship managers, volunteers, and instructors who helped you get here. Let them know they mattered.

To cap off Teacher Appreciation Week, we're overjoyed to see alumni giving back to the people who taught them.
In just one week, over 38 donors have contributed to our spring campaign, and many dedicated their gifts to their former instructors. One was a Cohort 24 Adie, still in their internship phase, making their first gift to Ada. Their dedication read:
"Thank you, Ansel, for believing in me at the C24 interview, and for teaching with such heart. Forever grateful. 💛"
Ada's instructors and staff don't just teach syntax and frameworks. They show up for career changers in moments of doubt, celebrate every small win, and help our Adies see what's possible. To every educator who has done this work for an Adie: thank you!
To our alumni community: if an Ada teacher shaped your path, you can honor them with a gift in their name.

Yesterday, Washington gave. And Ada's community showed up. ❤️
We did it, $5,605 raised on GiveBIG day.
Thank you. Genuinely. Every gift is a door that stays open for the next Adie who needs it.
Our spring campaign, Adies Supporting Adies, runs through May 29. If you want to stay connected to Ada's work and watch your impact grow, follow along.
