August 26th is Women's Equality Day. Championed by Representative Bella Abzug in 1971, Women's Equality Day commemorates the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. However, the fight for women's equality in all spheres of life continues. These pre-vetted organizations are doing the critical work to advance women's equality initiatives through advocacy, education, litigation and policy. Your donation to the Women's Equality Day Fund will help each of these organizations continue their work towards a more equitable world for women and girls.

Between July 4 and July 6, 2025, heavy rainfall and catastrophic flooding devastated multiple communities across Central Texas. In the early morning hours of July 4th, the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in just one hour, displacing thousands of families and causing widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure—including Camp Mystic, a summer camp for young girls. More than 80 deaths have been reported, and many remain missing as additional flash flooding is expected across the state. Relief efforts are actively underway, with several nonprofit organizations on the ground working collaboratively with local community leaders and officials to provide essential relief resources including food, water, shelter, medical care, and search and rescue services. Please note that the organizations included in this Fund are subject to change as we learn more about needs on the ground.

World Humanitarian Day, recognized each year on August 19th, honors humanitarian aid workers for their bravery and sacrifice when providing relief to those in need. Humanitarian relief workers are often exposed to dangerous environments and harsh conditions when providing relief in an effort to ensure the wellness of our world's most vulnerable and reducing suffering, putting their own safety at risk to do so. The following organizations provide humanitarian relief in a multitude of ways to communities around the globe experiencing a crisis. Your donation to this Fund will help these organizations, and the humanitarians who represent them, continue their mission of providing relief to communities impacted by war, poverty, disaster, hunger, illness, and violence in an effort to create a safe and compassionate world for all.

Better living is a community program for a sober Living house. Funds will be used to help those who truly need it to obtain the financing to get into a sober living community. Funding will cover their first months rent, help with cost of obtaining a photo ID and credentials for employment. Many people struggle with overcoming addiction, even those who have completed inpatient treatment because coming out of treatment they do not have the support or the finances they need to continue in recovery. Sober living provides a strong stable safe environment and a connection with the sober community. Being in a sober living house plays a crucial role in maintaining their sobriety. While there they will attend meetings, get a sponsor, work the 12 steps, gain employment and build the skills they need to beat addiction and provided them with life time of recovery. It isn't easy to do this alone and to have the resources,support and care from others who are in recovery along with a safe environment free from drugs and alcohol will help those live a better life. Thses funding will be granted to those who qualify, qualifications will be based off income, completed treatment programs, sobriety date and a letter of recommendation from either a treatment center, councilor or doctor and the will to stay sober. A application will be filled out and processed by the program director to determine eligibility. Some small towns such as pratt Ks , Kingman Ks and medicine lodge kansas has no sober living houses. I would like to get funding to bring sober living to those communities. Residence at A Better living sober house all must obtain employment in 2 weeks, pay 140 a week for housing. Attend 2 meetings a week if employed 7 meets a week if not employed. Each resident will have weekly house chores, be subject to random UAs/BAs. Hold a house meeting once a week to insure everyone is following house rules, paying dues , and gainfully looking for employment. We will fallow same rules and regulations as any Oxford House. Let's come together and help cure addiction and give hope to those who want to live a sober life.

Campaign in response to the murder of the young woman in The Netherlands.

DES.ENG.AGE. presents Silicon Souls during the Dutch Design Week at NulZes. A Platform for Creative Technical Collaboration, and techno-conscious discussion What is DES.ENG.AGE.? It is a project that brings ASML engineers together with creative minds from Eindhoven. The goal is to connect the worlds of technology and design, helping to build a stronger creative culture around ASML and in the local area. It also gives ASML employees a chance to take part in hands-on creative projects, learn new skills, both technical and creative to work on projects from start to finish. Most importantly, we aim to support a society where technology is developed with thought and care, shaped by both engineers and artists who consider its impact on people and the planet. What’s the Story Behind “Silicon Souls”? In the past, alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold. Even Isaac Newton spent years exploring this idea. In recent times, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider managed to do it. However, we believe the real magic is in semiconductors. We take sand and turn it into silicon chips that store information, ideas, and money on them. These chips power everything around us. It’s not just turning matter into something valuable; it’s creating the foundations for whole digital worlds. Since Eindhoven is often called “Europe’s Silicon Valley,” we believe we should lead not only in tech, but also in responsibility. At DES.ENG.AGE. we think that “those who create are responsible.” That’s why Silicon Souls, our contribution to Dutch Design Week, is meant to highlight the deep connection between innovation and ethics where technologists think about their impact, and citizens are part of shaping the digital world. What will “Silicon Souls” look like? We want to show the hidden complexity of the microchip industry in the form of a beautiful and meaningful piece of art, and abstract installation. This project will be built together by ASML engineers and local designers. The artwork will look like a large chandelier, shaped like a cone, hanging from the ceiling. It will be able to move in the x and y directions (and possibly z). It will contain fine sand, which will trickle onto a silicon wafer. As the chandelier moves, it will "expose" patterns of the sand metaphorically tracing the steps of chip fabrication. The polished surface of the cone will reflect a structure of pillars and connections an architecture that could be buildings or the layered structure of a microprocessor. Each layer will represent a story or idea sparking conversation with visitors. We also intend to pay homage to the employees of the industry by incorporating 3D figurines of people who contributed to the project. How Can You Help? We’re looking for engineers who want to volunteer their time and skills. Here are some areas where we need help: o 3d scanning o 3d printing with resin or ceramic slurry o Calculating load bearing capacity of NulZes ceiling and beams o Designing x-y stage that moves a “chandelier” that drips sand o Designing nozzle system for sand o "Wafer stage" design on the ground o Helping Luuk van den Broek (our resident designer) with the cone that that is to be the main structure for the “chandelier” o Help with the woodwork o Connect the piece to the ceiling [TIG welding] o Arrange area for seating o Design and write on the walls o Audio system for explaining the piece (is it a looped speaker or headphones, can it be rented or from ASML borrow) o Record sounds o Build up and install (scenography) from readymade objects o Code movement and experience o Create DUV etched silicon with disengage manifesto message that can be viewed under the microscope o Work as mechanical engineer for integration. o Electronics o Coding o Lighting design [illumination from the inside of the chandelier to project message] o Safety expert o Volunteer to stay at the DDW (Performance to offload sand from printed wafer) We’re also looking for donations to help cover the costs of creating and displaying the artwork.
