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.
