Engaging Networks, NTEN and Care2 have joined together to honor the legacy of Joe Baker, a technology leader whose untimely death last year is a major loss to the nonprofit sector.
The result is the Joe Baker Fund, a new scholarship that pays all travel, lodging and registration costs for professionals from human rights organizations to participate in NTEN’s signature annual event, the Nonprofit Technology Conference. The Fund enables selected activists to join thousands of other nonprofit professionals to learn from each other, and to build a more equitable world. In its first year, The Joe Baker Fund was able to select four activists (out of 70 who applied) who will attend this year’s NTC in Portland, Oregon.
The scholarship fund is a fitting tribute to Joe Baker, a kind mentor and beloved colleague to many, who died tragically in 2023 at the age of 64. It unites two of Joe’s long held passions — technology and the cause of human rights. Joe’s significant impact on the sector included long stints at Amnesty International and Care2, as well as two years of leading NTEN, as its Executive Director.
If you’d like to make a potentially life-changing difference in the career of human rights activists who are making the world a better place, please consider joining Engaging Networks, Care2 and NTEN in making a contribution to the Joe Baker Fund.
