Partner with us
Organizations that need support, and partners who can fund it.
GenBridge strengthens community capacity through technology. Partners help us build solutions, educate communities and give communities a meaningful role in shaping the technologies that affect them. Email programs@genbridgealliance.org about any of the options below.
Community organizations
We are taking on a small number of partner organizations. Formal nonprofit status is not required: tenant associations, mutual aid networks, congregations, parent groups and block associations are as welcome as incorporated nonprofits.
Please send your organization, roughly how many staff you have, what you are trying to solve and any deadline you are working against.
Funders and agencies
Every organization we support is one that could not have bought this work. Public and philanthropic funding makes it free where it is delivered.
- Program and general operating support for building tools, educating communities and giving them a voice in technology.
- Research funding for community listening sessions and published findings on how technology is actually encountered in low-resource settings.
- Contracts and teaming for technical assistance, training and policy work for agencies and larger institutions.
Technology companies
The organizations we work with run on donated licenses, free tiers and whatever a departing staff member left behind. Most of what helps is not cash:
- Skills-based volunteering from engineers, data scientists, security staff and designers.
- Technical review of how we describe system behavior, failure modes and data handling.
- In-kind technology passed through to the organizations we support.
- Plain-language documentation of what a product keeps and what it is used for.
