AnnieCannons is unique among our grantees for its laser focus on adults recovering from profound trauma: survivors of human trafficking, most of whom are women and non-binary, and many of whom have experienced homelessness and intersectional disadvantage. We have chosen AnnieCannons because it does more than offer technical training—it offers a bridge to economic independence, self-worth, and community.

AnnieCannons’ trauma-informed, accessibility-first model is designed to address the specific needs of its beneficiaries. The curriculum spans foundational tech skills and programming, then moves students into advanced modules in software development, cloud computing, and database management—each coupled with 100+ hours of real-world project experience.

Supporting AnnieCannons means investing in dignity, hope, and renewal. It means recognizing that true inclusion in STEM goes beyond classrooms and into the lives of adults who deserve new beginnings.
