as per @TheAlphaNerd's comment on #61 i think this should be a separate document that lists groups/charities/non-profits we should reach out too. i think we should look to both node/js specific, as well as general, groups.

WaffleJS has donated to girls who code which has done an amazing job of making individuals feel like the event is a safe space (having talked to various people from under represented groups).

It might be night to get some testimonials from both participants and orgs about how important this can be

It might even be of interest to partner with the city's DOE as an outreach strategy. More on CS4All here.
