About the Grant
The Morgan Stanley Tech Change Makers Program 2027 is a pro bono technology initiative designed to help nonprofit organisations address real-world technology and digital challenges. Rather than simply providing an outsourced technology service, the programme brings Morgan Stanley technologists and nonprofit teams together to develop practical solutions collaboratively. Participating organisations can receive strategic guidance, technical expertise and hands-on support to strengthen their technology capabilities and improve their ability to deliver social impact. Morgan Stanley describes Tech Change Makers as a programme that embeds teams of technologists with local nonprofits to build technology solutions that help organisations scale their impact.
Who can Apply?
The programme information provided indicates that registered nonprofit organisations and charities worldwide can apply. Applicants should have a clear organisational mission and a meaningful technology or digital challenge that can benefit from collaboration with experienced technology professionals. Organisations should be able to explain their current challenge, the people or communities affected, the technology-related outcome they want to achieve and how their team will participate in the project. Applicants should also demonstrate organisational readiness to work collaboratively over the proposed engagement period. Morgan Stanley’s official Technology Philanthropy page specifically invites nonprofits and schools interested in engaging with its technology philanthropy activities to submit an interest survey.
