3 Percent Movement - Until The 3%
Movement came along, only 3% of Creative Directors were women. And very few were people of color. We're
changing the ratio because the more varied the people who come up with ideas, the better the ideas will be. In
a world where women influence upwards of 80% of consumer spending and 60% of social media sharing, this is
business suicide. Through a mix of content, community and professional development, we've helped raise the
number of female CDs to 29% while giving agencies a clear road map of ways to champion female creative talent
and leadership. Our movement includes a 2-day annual fall conference, one-day MiniCons in cities around the
world, a Certification Program, agency consulting programs, a vibrant online community, a live Super
Bowl Tweetup, a student scholarship fund, a business blog and more.
The Best Resources for Black Entrepreneurs - The organizations included in the
link offer a wealth of resources for Black entrepreneurs, including funding, education, and robust networking

Free the Work - In
2016, director Alma Har’el founded Free the Work as a response to her own experience of the ad industry's
hiring inequalities. The pledge prompted brands and their agencies to include at least one
woman among the three directors bidding for every commercial job. These commitments led to measurable
increases in the number of women creators considered and hired for major ads. Now that our approach to fighting systemic bias has
begun to see success in the advertising industry, we're setting our sights on more expansive horizons.
More industries. More forms of storytelling. More creators from more underrepresented backgrounds. More
data. More minds blown. Most of all, better work.

LGBTQ Scholarships: The cost of college increased quite a bit in recent years,
which led to more and more students looking for scholarships. Though some are only for $200 to $500, others
are worth a larger amount. Many scholarships are suitable for specific types of students such as the top
LGBTQ scholarships. Organizations offer these scholarships for students who face more challenges than their
peers do. You may need to pay for your entire college experience on your own because your parents refuse to
help or because they will not help you apply for financial aid through the FAFSA. Check out all the
top scholarship opportunities for students who identify as LGBTQ+ and apply as soon as
possible.
