High-Tech High Heels

Many years before High tech High Heels (hthh) was organized, a donor-advised fund was established through the dallas woman's foundation to support organizations that are dedicated to closing the gender gap in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (stem). In 2014 the major leaders of the donor-advised fund established High-Tech High Heels to support this mission and to provide additional fundraising opportunities. The donor-advised fund was transferred from dallas woman's foundation to communities foundation of Texas (cft). Cft managed the donor advised fund in partnership with hthh. Hthh also established a designated fund with cft for the purpose of accumulating funds to cover operating expenses and to support future grant-making. The donor-advised fund was depleted during 2019 and control of the designated fund was transferred to the north Texas chapter. Additionally, during the previous year, the organization transferred $287,269 of its own funds to the north Texas chapter to be used for future grant-making. In 2019, the organization received a group exemption letter pursuant to rev. Proc. 80-27 and established subordinate organizations in Texas and in California. Since then, additional chapters in Texas and Colorado have been established. This organization will serve as the central organization and will have general oversight of the administration and programs of the subordinate organizations. It's intention is to establish additional subordinate organizations in other geographic areas in the future.
