FORGE Give Back connects nonprofit partners with their corporate communities. When an introduction leads to a qualified technology conversation, FORGE gives back to the organization that made the connection.
The program is intentionally simple. Nonprofits open the door, FORGE brings the advisory expertise, and corporate sponsors get help solving real technology and commercial challenges.
A participating charity connects FORGE with a corporate sponsor, board member, donor, or business relationship that may benefit from independent technology guidance.
We meet with the organization, understand the business problem, and determine whether FORGE can create measurable value through sourcing, benchmarking, transformation, or ongoing oversight.
FORGE makes a donation tied to qualified engagement and, when applicable, successful business generated from the introduction.
Corporate participants gain access to FORGE's advisory model while helping direct economic value back into organizations already doing meaningful work in their communities.
FORGE helps organizations pressure-test strategy, vendors, architecture, commercials, and implementation decisions.
FORGE is compensated through technology providers, allowing customers to access senior advisory support without a separate consulting fee.
The objective is not to force a product. It is to define the problem, identify the right solution, and protect the customer's interests through execution.
The company's engagement creates an opportunity for its nonprofit partner to receive additional financial support.
