Today,
Santa Monica Studio is happy to announce a donation of $100,000 to
Black Girls Code. We're excited to support Sony Interactive Entertainment's Social Justice Fund portfolio as we continue our collective effort to drive change – locally, nationally, and globally.
As part of
Sony Group $100 million Global Social Justice Fund, which was established in 2020, SIE has contributed $11 million through the Social Justice Initiative and our
PlayStation Career Pathways Program, supporting organizations and initiatives focused on improving diversity and representation in the video game industry.
Black Girls Code builds pathways for young Women of Color to embrace the current tech marketplace as builders and creators by introducing them to skills in computer programming and technology. The organization is devoted to showing the world that Black girls can code and do so much more. Black Girls Code is committed to creating stronger economies and more equitable societies—ultimately realizing the true potential of democracy through diversity and inclusion.
Black Girls Code is one of the many nonprofit organizations SIE supports whose efforts are focused on strengthening educational and career opportunities for historically disadvantaged communities. This is just another step as we'll continue our efforts to make Sony Interactive Entertainment and the video game industry more diverse, inclusive, and accessible.
