*Abstract:*

Systers Online Community, an initiative of the Anita Borg Institute for
Women and Technology (ABI), offers the Pass-It-On Grants to honor Anita
Borg's desire to create a network of technical women helping one another.
The grants, funded by donations from the Systers community, are intended as
means for women established in technological fields to support women seeking
their place in the fields of technology. The grants are called "Pass-It-On"
grants because they come with the moral obligation to "pass on" the benefits
gained from the grant.

Applications covering a wide variety of needs and projects are encouraged,
such as
- small grant to help with studies, job transfers, or other transitions in
life;
- a broader project that benefits girls and women;
- projects that seek to inspire more girls and women to go into the
computing field;
- assistance with educational fees and materials;
- partial funding source for larger scholarship; and
- mentoring and other supportive groups for women in technology or
computing.
