First Tech community grants and sponsorships.

We fund 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations within our Oregon, Washington and Northern California footprint through grants focused on programmatic and capacity building support. These grants support programs within our funding focus areas: education and fundamental needs.

First Tech grants are by invitation only. We are unfortunately  unable to accept unsolicited requests or Letters of Intent from nonprofit organizations.

Grant requests are made through an online application. Applications will be open each calendar year on the following dates, and invited organizations will receive a link to apply via email: 

EDUCATION: STEM, early childhood literacy and financial education

• Application open February 1 - March 10 

FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS: hunger, housing and community health

• Application open August 1 - September 10

Our sponsorship funding is also by invitation only. We solicit sponsorship requests from 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that fall within our funding focus areas and have a First Tech senior leader sitting on their Board of Directors. 

Any changes to our funding program will be updated on this page.
