About the Organization

The Zendesk Foundation is built on our core company values—inclusivity, purpose, trust, and community. Our mission is to connect Zendesk's people, products, and resources with nonprofit organizations addressing complex social problems.

About the Grant

At Zendesk, we believe that technology can change lives — especially for our most vulnerable populations. That’s why the Zendesk Tech for Good program partners with over 110 nonprofits across the globe to give them free Zendesk software, grants, and pro bono support, empowering more organizations to leverage technology and serve more people.

Tech for Good has two main goals:

• Provide nonprofits with Zendesk software and grants to help them serve more people and create more impact among vulnerable populations;
• Partner with nonprofits that provide workforce development training for careers in customer experience (CX) to historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.

We support organizations that contribute to the Zendesk Foundation's impact areas:

• Foster community - enable connections that offer support and allow people to thrive;
• Promote resilience in a time of crisis - safeguard against disaster and reduce human suffering;
• Create career pathways into tech - close the economic opportunity gap and reduce unemployment

The Tech for Good Impact Awards will be providing free software and multiple grants ranging from $5,000 - $50,000 to global nonprofit organizations.

Applicants should demonstrate how Zendesk’s products will help them serve more people and create more impact among vulnerable or disadvantaged populations.
