The GitLab Foundation’s mission is to improve lifetime earnings through access to opportunities. We focus on individuals making below a living wage in their local context and on specific groups that are disadvantaged due to factors such as gender, disability, or social background.
In 2024, as part of our Emerging Talent Demand portfolio, we are launching a national $3M Green Jobs for Economic Opportunity fund to support nonprofits and partnerships in exploring or developing early-stage initiatives to improve economic mobility. This fund will help fill gaps for newer projects that often have a more challenging time raising resources to establish proof of concept, connect to other funding, and/or develop a roadmap for continued success.
We’re willing to take risks on new approaches and are seeking solutions with a clear potential to efficiently increase the incomes of low-wage workers (our North Star outcome).
The May 2nd deadline is for submission of the Concept Note. Full applications are due June 14th.
