Deadline: 30-Apr-24
Applicants are encouraged to apply for the F5 Tech for Good Grants Program.
Despite the fact that people of color and/or marginalized racial or ethnic communities have contributed little to historical greenhouse gas emissions, they are disproportionately affected by climate change—from sea level rise and extreme heat to polluted water and toxic chemical exposure.
Technology tools and services can be the enabler to the resources, opportunities, and information nonprofits need to address the outsized effects climate change has upon people of color and/or marginalized racial or ethnic communities. Yet competing or restricted funding priorities limit many nonprofits from making the technology investments that match the scale of the problem.
Funding Information
- The size of the Tech for Good grants in 2024 to $50,000 USD.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grant funding is open to non-profits in all countries.
