Funding Objective and Scope
Region 10 aims to support WIE Affinity Group to organize various types of activity in their local community. The activity should focus on promoting women in engineering, sciences, and technology in both technical and personal development aspects.
Each year’s theme of activity is different but follows the current mission and vision of IEEE. In 2023-2024, IEEE will pay attention to climate change’s importance and encourage every IEEE organization unit to organize an activity that addresses the need to prevent or stop climate change.
Region 10 WIE also wants to encourage all of our regional AGs to address the needs, challenges, or struggles that WIE has to go through in the era of climate change. IEEE Region 10 WIE committee is then presenting the special support funds for WIE AGs who wish to organize events or activities that would raise the awareness of the World’s Climate Change and the Role of Women in Engineering to combat the challenge or to raise concerns internationally.

Policy of section matching fund:
When we support an activity in a large section, R10 WIE supports only equal or less than 50% of total expenses. The remaining funds will have to be supported by the section and/or other sources of funding. If it is a medium section, the support is up to 75% and for a small section, it is 100%
Section Incentives scheme:
The section incentives scheme in R10 is designed to support AGs and SBs. These section incentives are funds that were distributed to sections at the end of the year. Collaborations with students and AGs are highly valued. We hope the sections will be willing to support activities conducted by AGs and SBs.
