Tech platform, Goodie Nation, has announced a partnership with the Tech Equity Collective Impact Fund to donate $1M to improve tech career prospects for Black professionals.

The program, which has opened its application to all Black and allying organizations, will provide members with tech industry resources and access to exclusive opportunities.

Additionally, selected organizations will receive a year of access to Tech Equity Collective programming, tech industry resources, access to a network of Black professionals, and access to opportunities.
