About this opportunity

Morgan Stanley runs this programme out of its technology division, embedding teams of its own engineers inside nonprofits to build the tools those organisations cannot build alone. No money changes hands. What an accepted organisation receives is engineering time and technical expertise aimed at one specific technology or operations problem, and Morgan Stanley says the programme is designed for organisations with enough capacity to take part but not enough in-house skill to solve that problem by themselves. Applying is restricted to organisations with registered charity status, so this is a record an organisation acts on rather than an individual.

What you get:

A team of Morgan Stanley technologists working on your organisation's technical challenge, provided pro bono
Technical expertise and executional support rather than a cash grant. No money is awarded, so this buys skilled people and their time, not budget
Morgan Stanley's own case studies describe past Change Makers projects including a cloud based volunteer and data platform for the Billion Oyster Project, a machine learning analysis tool built from a hackathon prototype, and advice on cybersecurity best practice

What you'll do:

Submit an initial application describing your organisation, its structure and mission, and the one technical challenge you want help with
Morgan Stanley states that this initial application takes about 30 minutes to complete
If selected, work alongside a team of Morgan Stanley technologists to design and build a solution to that challenge

Key dates:

Applications close September 11, 2026
