Donate cryptocurrency to NTEN

Whether you're a long-time investor in technology for nonprofits or new to supporting change-making in this way, your donation to NTEN is scaled for impact.

It’s easy to find information, tutorials, and even credentials for using software. But for years, NTEN’s research has found that people working on missions and movements say that what they need most is training and support using tech tools for their bigger goals. Unfortunately, that’s not widely available.

This is where NTEN comes in.

For over 20 years, NTEN’s transformative programs have enabled people working on missions and movements, regardless of their technical background or job title, to build skills in budgeting, planning, and designing strategies for using technology skillfully and equitably. Whether it’s collecting and managing data, online service delivery, creating technology policies, or evaluating impact, NTEN’s programs fill a knowledge gap in nonprofit technology.

Support NTEN by making a charitable gift in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or one of over 100 other cryptocurrencies.

$60,000 covers a six-month cohort of 20 people ramping up their technology leadership and planning skills.

$20,000 supports a Digital Inclusion Fellow for a year bringing digital equity to their communities.

And, every dollar you invest goes into our mission, ensuring our programs are as diverse and accessible as possible to meet the needs of changemakers all over the world.
