Call for Annual Sponsorship for SVCSI
Silicon Valley Cybersecurity Institute (SVCSI), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (public charity), aims to train underrepresented groups in cybersecurity areas supported by professional cybersecurity practitioners including faculty and industry professionals through various activities at SVCSI. With industry partners, we leverage our local communities including high schools, colleges, and universities in designing various cybersecurity activities for future cybersecurity workforce development. In particular, our center focuses on underrepresented groups, called UNiSEC (UNderrepresented Group In CyberSECurity), to increase their interest in cybersecurity as a career. The UNiSEC is an underrepresented group that is interested in cybersecurity for the inclusion of under-served (women, African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, and others) based on the NSF definition. SVCSI is the only nonprofit organization voluntarily led by distinguished cybersecurity faculties in different specialties from SJSU, West Virginia University, Georgia Tech, University of Buffalo, Texas A&M, and so on.
Your company sponsorship is critical to support our missions and the UNiSEC group as effectively as possible. The tumultuous past years have had a direct impact on giving - such may continue to influence how donors manage their philanthropy every year. Your sponsorship will support the following important activities, such as summer camps, hackathons, annual conferences, workshops & training, and research, in the cybersecurity community for the UNiSEC group while supporting our effective operations and management for SVCSI. The main past activities can be found on our blog(https://blog.svcsi.org/) and the event website (https://svcsi.org/events).
