Bridging the Gap Between the Environmental and Social Impacts of Climate Change

In our second year focusing F5's annual Tech for Good grants on climate justice, we received nearly 300 grant applications from nonprofits around the world. Each nonprofit described a wide range of the environmental and social impacts of climate change, but the through line in each application was clear: it is the most vulnerable populations contributing the least to climate change that bear the highest cost.

Our largest-ever F5 grant selection committee of 35 employees from 11 different countries pored over each of these applications. They sought the best examples where a $50,000 USD grant to invest in technology could help accelerate the work these nonprofits take on and would specifically tackle the climate challenges that have an outsized impact on people of color and marginalized racial and ethnic communities.

The result is our class of 10 2024 Tech for Good grant partners, representing regions as diverse as Central America to West Africa, and issues as consequential as sustainable agriculture to affordable housing. Below is a description of each, with their specific plans to apply this grant to technology solutions. F5 is proud to play even a small part in advancing their important work.
