Philanthropic Partners

We work with philanthropic organizations to maximize the impact of their investments through appropriate technology-related strategies. Some examples of these partnerships include:

THE CALIFORNIA ENDOWMENT – Technology Assessment and Recommendations

Through the "Building Healthy Communities" Technology Assessment Project, ZeroDivide is supporting the achievement of the 10 Building Healthy Community (BHC) Outcomes by providing a better understanding of the technology capacity of the 14 BHC Hub/Collaboratives. ZeroDivide will provide recommendations on how each Hub/Collaborative can utilize technology to achieve greater impact of the BHC initiative in its community.

HEWLETT, IRVINE and PACKARD FOUNDATIONS – Technology Capacity Cohort

ZeroDivide is working to strengthen the technology capacity of 100 minority-led, community-based organizations in the Bay Area, Central Coast and Central Valley as part of the Community Leadership Project. ZeroDivide is building overall operational capacity through organizational technology assessments, development of a strategic technology plan, implementation of technology solutions, joint training and peer learning sessions, and ongoing support.

LEVI STRAUSS FOUNDATION – Social Media Cohort

ZeroDivide is working with a group of new generation San Francisco-based social justice leaders, selected by the Levi Strauss Foundation. Highly motivated to leverage social media, these key influencers, understand the value of enabling their organizations to expand their reach and achieve their mission. ZeroDivide is providing strategic advice on program design and implementation, and conducting a technology/social media capacity building program for each organization.

THE MOZILLA FOUNDATION – Open Video Innovation for Youth and Community Organizations

ZeroDivide is partnering with Mozilla to enable the Web Made Movies project to prototype tools and curriculum that make it easier for people to use the technology being developed through Web Made Movies. These prototypes will be tested by running training workshops in conjunction with BAVC. Once finalized, the tools and curriculum will be used at an Open Innovation Contest to roll the program out to dozens of youth centers.
