Learning Series: Funding Nonprofit IT Maturity

August 12, 2026

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time

An investment in tech is an investment in mission. How can philanthropy effectively invest in nonprofit IT maturity? 


For many nonprofits—especially small and midsized organizations—technology infrastructure remains underfunded despite being essential to program delivery, organizational effectiveness, and long-term impact. While grants often support direct services, the foundational systems that enable those services are frequently overlooked.


Join this panel discussion focused on how grantmakers can move beyond recognizing the challenge and begin making strategic investments in nonprofit technology capacity. We'll explore practical funding approaches, lessons from the field, and opportunities to strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem through intentional technology support. 


Ahead of this long-awaited Part 2, TAG members are encouraged to revisit the recording of the first webinar in this series from August 2025 ("Assessing Nonprofit IT Maturity"), available in TAG’s Webinar Archive.


Key Takeaways Include:

  • Understand the role of philanthropy in advancing nonprofit IT maturity. 
  • Explore practical funding models for evaluating and investing in technology needs. 
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen grantee resilience, effectiveness, and long-term impact through strategic technology funding. 


Who Should Attend:

  • Technology, operations, and program leaders seeking to strengthen grantee capacity through technology investments.
  • Nonprofit support organizations, intermediaries, and consultants working to advance digital resilience and technology equity.
  • Philanthropy professionals interested in funding strategies for cybersecurity, data management, digital transformation, and AI readiness.
