Directory of Certificate Earners
Since 2022, the Technology Association of Grantmakers has offered the Equity Essentials curriculum to build equity awareness and skills for staff and partners working in philanthropy tech. Participants who have completed all coursework are offered a digital certificate and badge of completion through Credly for their commitment to moving forward in their equity journey.
Consultants, product providers, and vendors who earn the certificate have the option of being included below, addressing a long-standing request by philanthropic organizations to provide a list of vendors committed to equity.
