TAG is the only open membership association for technology professionals working in philanthropy. Your membership provides access to invaluable educational opportunities and knowledge exchange.
Welcome to the TAG Network
TAG is a community greater than any individual or organization. Our deep and extensive network as well as partnerships with industry vendors and the sector at large make us all greater than the sum of our parts.
Welcome to the network of leaders, learners, and problem-solvers in philanthropy.
“TAG has members that are curious thinkers and solvers that want to get out ahead of where we are today, as well as leaders and doers in the space now.”
— Jonathan Mergy, Director of IT, Tides
