NTEN

Who We Are

NTEN is a nonprofit organization that supports professionals using technology to create positive social change. Founded in 2000, we have been at the forefront of helping organizations leverage technology for greater impact for over two decades. With a team of 23 dedicated professionals spread across six states and three time zones, NTEN operates with a flexible and remote-first work culture, emphasizing the importance of work-life balance and employee well-being.

Our mission is to build a more equitable and just world by helping nonprofit organizations harness the power of technology to amplify their impact. We believe that when nonprofit professionals have the right tools, knowledge, and community support, they can create transformational change in their communities.

What We Do

NTEN offers a wide range of programs and services designed to enhance nonprofit organizations' technological capabilities. We provide valuable resources and training to nonprofit professionals through multiple channels:

• Annual Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC): Our flagship event brings together thousands of nonprofit professionals to share knowledge, network, and explore the latest technology solutions for social impact
• Online courses and webinars: Accessible learning opportunities that fit busy schedules and diverse learning styles
• Research and publications: Data-driven insights and best practices to guide technology decision-making in the nonprofit sector
• Community engagement: A vibrant network of peers supporting each other through challenges and celebrating successes
• Consulting and resources: Practical tools and guidance to help organizations use technology more effectively

We focus on helping nonprofit organizations use technology strategically to achieve their missions and drive meaningful social change, from small grassroots organizations to established institutions.

Working at NTEN

At NTEN, we believe in putting humans first, recognizing that our employees are more than just their roles. We practice what we preach—using technology thoughtfully to enable flexibility and sustainability rather than constant connectivity.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected in both our team composition and our work approach. We actively work to create a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.

We recently transitioned to a four-day workweek to support our staff's well-being, allowing team members to better balance their professional and personal lives. This decision reflects our values: we cannot effectively support the nonprofit sector in creating sustainable change if we don't model sustainability ourselves.

Our collaborative environment fosters continuous learning and mutual support. Team members regularly share knowledge, mentor each other, and work together to solve challenges. Whether you're an experienced nonprofit technology professional or bringing skills from other sectors, NTEN provides a supportive space to grow, innovate, and make a meaningful difference in the world.
