Apply for an in-kind technology grant.

If technology is standing between you and your work, this is where it starts. Tell us what's in the way, and we pair your organization with the technical leadership and the hands to move it forward, priced to your size.

What to expect

Tell us what’s in the way. We’ll talk it through, agree on the work, and build alongside your team. You stay in the driver’s seat the whole way, and you keep everything we build together.

  1. Your application lands

    It goes straight into our queue and you get a confirmation by email. There is nothing more to do yet.

  2. We read closely and do our homework

    We work through what you sent and research your organization: your filings, your programs, your public footprint. Every applicant gets the same look. We reach out if we need anything more, and email you each time it moves.

  3. Our board decides

    Every grant is decided by a recorded board vote, including where your organization sits on the sliding scale.

  4. We sign and start

    A short Master Services Agreement sets out the scope of the work. Once it is signed, we schedule a kickoff and get going.

What it costs

We price it to your reach. Your rate slides with your size, set together from the operating budget on your application, and no mission is turned away for cost alone.

  • Over $5MYou pay the rate, and help cover the ones who can't.
  • $1M to $5MYou pay a share; we carry the rest.
  • $250K to $1MYou pay a fraction; we cover most of it.
  • Under $250KThe smallest pay the least, often nothing. This is who we're built for.

Who can apply

We work with 501(c)(3) nonprofits and equivalent mission-driven organizations. If you’re not sure you qualify, ask. We’d rather hear from you.

Start your application

A few minutes is all it takes. Tell us about your organization and what’s in the way, and we’ll take it from there.

Your organization

This sets your place on the sliding scale. We never turn a mission away for cost alone.
