About Event

​Grantmakers and funders are under increasing pressure to do more with less—yet many overlook one of the most powerful impact multipliers: technology. By integrating tech solutions into their funding strategies, funders can maximize their impact, drive efficiency, and support long-term sustainability without significantly increasing financial commitments.

​This strategic roundtable discussion will help funders rethink their approach and explore new ways to support nonprofit digital capacity.

​Key Discussion Points

  • ​Embedding technology in grantmaking – How funders can integrate digital solutions to enhance nonprofit efficiency, sustainability, and impact.

  • ​Pro bono tech partnerships – Leveraging corporate tech expertise and in-kind support as a force multiplier for grantees.

  • ​Building sustainable tech ecosystems – Moving beyond short-term digital fixes to develop long-lasting, scalable solutions.

​What to Expect

  • ​Practical insights – Learn how funders are successfully embedding tech into philanthropy.

  • ​Real-world case studies – Explore successful models of tech-enabled giving and lessons from funders at the forefront.

  • ​Collaborative exchange – A dynamic roundtable where funders can share ideas, challenges, and strategies for integrating technology into impact-driven funding.

​Who Should Attend?

  • ​Philanthropic foundations and grantmakers looking to integrate technology into funding models for greater impact.

  • ​Impact investors and CSR leaders seeking scalable, tech-enabled giving strategies.

  • ​Tech companies and pro bono champions interested in mission-aligned funding and digital support for nonprofits.

​Why You Should Join

​Technology is no longer an optional add-on—it’s a necessity for scaling impact. This session will challenge funders to think differently about their role in supporting nonprofit technology adoption and provide actionable strategies to make smarter, more effective grants.
