Nonprofit Technology Fellowship

Meet the thought leaders who are building the future of technology, innovation, and social impact

Background

In 2019, Okta for Good launched the Nonprofit Technology Initiative - the foundation of our three-year commitment to invest $10 million out of the Okta for Good Fund. In 2021, we announced the Nonprofit Technology Fellowship as a new program within the Nonprofit Technology Initiative.

Fellowship experience & expectations

Technology is an increasingly important aspect of every nonprofit’s plan, and Okta for Good recognizes that the impact of any tech is ultimately determined by people: people who understand how technology can improve direct services, people with experience building and maintaining technology within nonprofits, people with the courage to share their wisdom with others. Accordingly, the goal of the Fellowship is to empower a diverse collection of rising nonprofit technology leaders to enrich the sector with their experience and become more effective strategic leaders within their organizations.

During the six-month fellowship, each fellow develops at least one significant piece of content, including items like articles, conference sessions, or internal presentations. Fellows also receive professional development through facilitated convenings, coaching, and networking, plus a $25,000 grant from the Okta for Good Fund to their organization. Cohort convenings are virtual and mandatory. A full schedule will be provided to Fellows upon acceptance.
