Technology Grant Program - Cisco Cisco’s Technology Grant Program (TGP) awards our best-in-class technology to qualifying nonprofits. Cisco donates our own technology to qualifying nonprofit organizations to help them realize significant gains in productivity, security, scalability, and cost efficiency. Our program enables partners to make innovative use of networking and communications technology to create a measurable impact.
The Cisco Technology Grant Program focuses on the same social investment areas as our cash grants: climate resilience; Cisco Crisis Response (which includes shelter, water, food, and disaster relief); economic empowerment; and education.
