Foundations, corporations, tech providers, and others can partner with us to enable the nonprofit sector to excel.
Let’s build transformative power together
As our world becomes more digital, we all rely on technology for our programs, services, communications, and operations. NTEN’s work to create a world where all missions and movements are successful through the skillful and equitable use of technology is more important than ever. Partner with NTEN, and we will change the way people put technology to work for social change.
NTEN’s vibrant, inclusive community includes more than 70,000 people working on a variety of missions and movements across the United States, Canada, and beyond. By partnering with NTEN, you’ll ensure this community has access to the skills and knowledge they need to carry out their world-changing work — and our community can include your customers or grantees as well.
NTEN is the only organization providing professional development, certificates, and industry-leading events that are platform agnostic. Your partnership directly supports a variety of NTEN’s work, which includes:
- Leadership development: Our professional certificates position people to successfully take on new projects, titles, and jobs with expansive knowledge about technology management and digital equity.
- Collaborative learning: Our cohorts combine training, peer feedback, and expert guidance so participants can advance a technology project today and have a supportive network in the future.
- Assessments and coaching: Our programs allow organizations to leverage our decades of data and experience to increase their technology leadership and strategically prioritize investments for the biggest impact.
Work with NTEN for bigger impact
We offer many one-time and year-round opportunities to fit your budget and goals. We welcome a number of partnership models — including grants, sponsorships, and fee-for-service — that support us in delivering programs or that you can brand and promote within your own suite of offerings.
