GTIA Makes Waves in Tech Industry with Philanthropy and Inclusivity Initiatives
The Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA), established approximately 200 days ago, has made a significant impact in its short existence. Recently, it made headlines for its generous contributions to non-profit organisations, including a $50,000 donation to Black Lemonade, a Nashville-based organisation educating underserved youth in digital tools and career-aligned training.
GTIA's philanthropic efforts are part of a broader expansion of its giving programs. By the end of 2025, it aims to contribute a total of $1.5 million to non-profits. The organisation's growth plans extend beyond philanthropy. In the next four to five years, GTIA aspires to expand significantly, reflecting its commitment to the technology industry and its community.
GTIA's impact is not limited to financial contributions. It has also released the 'AWIT Guidebook: Organizational Strategies for Hiring, Advancing and Retaining Women in Technology'. This guidebook is designed to help MSPs and other channel-focused organisations hire and retain diverse talent, fostering inclusivity in the tech industry. GTIA's influence is further evident in its community-building efforts and recognition of industry leaders. Matt Lee, senior director of security and compliance at Pax8, was named GTIA's 'Member of the Year' for his advocacy for channel security awareness and excellence.
GTIA's $50,000 contribution to Black Lemonade is just one example of its commitment to supporting underserved communities. As GTIA continues to grow and expand its giving programs, it is poised to make a significant impact on the technology industry and beyond. Its initiatives, such as the 'AWIT Guidebook' and the recognition of industry leaders like Matt Lee, demonstrate its dedication to fostering a more inclusive and secure tech community.
