About
MISSION
The CITRIS and the Banatao Institute Tech for Social Good Program supports student-led learning and technology development for healthy, sustainable, connected, and equitable livelihoods in the United States and abroad. We have partnered with the Institute for Social Transformation to bring the program to the UC Santa Cruz campus.
To achieve its mission, the CITRIS Tech for Social Good Program provides funding support to undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students, groups, teams or organizations developing hardware, software, events or programs and supporting innovation and entrepreneurship for social good at UCSC.
If you are interested in developing a technology for social good, please visit the Technology Development Track for more information.
If you are interested in applying for funding to support a student-led event or programming that promotes technology for social good, please visit the
Student-Led Events Track for more information.
The 2025-26 program will open for applications later this year – Technology Development Track proposals are due by November 15th, 2025 and Events Track proposals are considered on a rolling basis through May 1, 2025.
See examples of funded projects from the Tech for Social Good Programs at UC Santa Cruz at UC Berkeley and UC Davis.
