Okta for Good Nonprofit Technology Initiative

Nonprofits should be as powerful as their missions

At Okta, we believe that nonprofits should be as powerful as their missions. Nonprofit organizations do society’s most critical work — and technology is essential to achieving and accelerating their impact.

The goal of Okta for Good's Nonprofit Technology Initiative is to contribute to a paradigm shift in how nonprofits are funded and enabled to make the digital transition. With this initiative, Okta is deepening our commitment to support urgent community needs by supporting nonprofits with technology and in working through ecosystems, networks and partnerships to do it.

The Nonprofit Technology Initiative forms the foundation of our three-year commitment to invest $10 million out of the Okta for Good Fund.

Become a nonprofit tech advocate

Join Okta for Good in our efforts to drive nonprofit digital transformation.

Leverage your dollars

The best way to support technology is to make your donations unrestricted and multi-year. Even better: flag your donations specifically for technology and the staff to support it.

Deploy your skills

Technologists can bring specialized and needed expertise to nonprofits by volunteering their skills.

Leverage your voice

Ask your favorite nonprofit about how they leverage tech and where they could use more support.

Collaborations
