If you can teach a class, configure a router, write curriculum, translate a training, or stand up a Wi-Fi mesh — we have a coalition partner who needs you this quarter.
If you run a telecom, a tech vendor, a foundation, an NGO, a research lab, or a public agency — there's an existing N50 working group that needs your seat at the table.
A single laptop puts a student on the network for four years. A classroom kit serves 40 learners. A regional program touches 8,000. Every gift is restricted to direct program cost — never overhead.
No. About 70% of volunteer hours in 2025 were remote — translation, technical mentoring, curriculum review, video calls with partner-org teams. The remaining 30% were in-person, primarily through implementing partners that already had vetted volunteer programs in place.
An MOU with the N50 working group your org is joining, a named coalition liaison from your team, and a contribution agreement (could be hardware, capital, software, training capacity, research, or policy work — not all four). We start with a 90-day pilot before signing a multi-year MOU. Most onboardings take 4–6 weeks.
100% of restricted gifts are routed to the named program. Operating costs are funded separately through unrestricted institutional grants. The annual financials are audited by an independent firm and posted publicly each March.
Yes — corporate sponsorships at $250K+ can be earmarked to a specific initiative, country program, or measurement study. Below that threshold, gifts go into the pooled program fund for the initiative of your choice. Either way, you receive quarterly reporting.
We read every submission within five business days. If your fit is clear, we route you straight to the working-group lead. If we need more, we reply with a single follow-up question — never a form-letter ask.
