Nonprofit partners
We provide grants and resources to nonprofits around the world whose mission and vision align with ours.
Who we partner with
We partner with nonprofit organizations that support job seekers facing barriers to economic opportunity — such as limited professional networks, low-income backgrounds, and in a transitional period of life. A few examples are opportunity youth, veterans, refugees, and formerly incarcerated job seekers.
Priority partnerships and grants go to organizations who:
• Operate with clear objectives and can measure the value of work
• Employ leadership teams or board members that represent the communities they serve
• Have demonstrated impact and the ability to scale
• Have regional networks/chapters outside of the Bay Area/New York City (if North America based)
If your program aligns with the criteria above, please complete the form below and our team will get back to you.
