Okta for Good

We’re on a mission to strengthen the connections between people, technology and community.

"We all have a responsibility to give back. Our success is linked to our communities: businesses can’t thrive unless our communities are thriving as well."

In early 2021, we are investing $1M+ in multi-year funding to develop tech for good ecosystems, innovation and thought leadership as part of our commitment to support the social sector through our philanthropy. This investment furthers our mission to create a paradigm shift in how nonprofits are funded and enabled to make the digital transition.

Applications are open January 4 to January 22, 2021 for the following funding rounds:

Nonprofit Technology Initiative: Ecosystems and Capacity Building ($1M USD funding round)
Nonprofit Technology Fellows: 6-8 Fellowships ($25,000 USD per Fellow)

We believe that social impact is foundational to Okta’s culture, business and long-term success. That's why in 2016, we took the 1% Pledge as a company and committed our time, product, and equity to giving back. This early commitment has grown into a strategic program backed by our philanthropic fund, The Okta for Good Fund.

Our core focus areas are:

Developing tech for good ecosystems

Expanding economic opportunity and pathways into the tech sector

Supporting nonprofits addressing critical needs in our global communities

Empowering our employees to become changemakers

Okta for Good, our social impact arm, is one part of Okta’s Social and Environmental Responsibility strategy to ensure that Okta lives up to its long-term commitment to maximize benefits to society, the environment and all of our stakeholders.
