The OrganizingTogether Foundation is proud to offer technical and financial support to nonprofit organizations using technology to reduce poverty, inequity, and environmental degradation locally.
The locally focused projects ensure that underrepresented voices are incorporated into the planning and development of technology solutions.
Here you can submit your project concept. You will be contacted within 60 days of submission with a response from our Executive Director.
If your concept note passes the preliminary review, your organization will be asked for a more extensive project proposal. You will have 90 days to submit the proposal.
Once your proposal has been approved by the Executive Committee, you will be matched with a mentor from the OT Collective who will help guide you through the award process.

Awards are made to nonprofit organizations from around the world. These nonprofits must be registered entities within their country and be able to provide documentation. Organizations must be able to demonstrate a longstanding relationship with the community they serve as well as a focus for incorporating underrepresented groups into the planning and development of technology solutions.
The Technology Catalyst Award is given to organizations who have demonstrated proof of concept for a project that uses technology to reduce inequity, poverty, and environmental degradation locally. These projects need technical and financial support to scale. Projects must have a local focus and integrate the underserved and represented into the planning and development of the project.
Concept submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis. Please allow up to 60 days for a response from the Executive Committee.
