We’re investing in nonprofits using tech to expand opportunity.

 GTIA awards grants to nonprofits and schools that use—or need—technology to improve lives, with a focus on under-resourced communities locally and globally. Our grants can provide funding to support smart, scalable solutions that tackle real-world challenges, from broadband access to AI-powered learning tools.

Now Accepting Grant Applications Via Member Referral

We expect to award $2 million to nonprofits through this special member-referral grantmaking program as part of our $5 million total charitable giving commitment for the year. It is anticipated that grants will be awarded in the $25,000 to $50,000 range, with the potential for larger-scale grants (depending on the applications received).

In 2025, we awarded $600,000 through our grantmaking program.

GTIA recently announced a major expansion of its charitable investments, approving $5 million in giving for 2026—an increase of more than 160% over the $1.9 million contributed in 2025, made possible by the collective strength, engagement and leadership of GTIA’s global member community. GTIA’s commitment to philanthropy is strengthened by its long-term endowment strategy, ensuring sustainable, member-guided giving for years to come.

GTIA hit a milestone with $1.9 million in total charitable giving in 2025. But we are just getting started. See the full list of 2025 grantees (PDF)
