About Trestle
Trestle Collaborative is a nonprofit creating a future where technology amplifies people-powered movements for democracy, equity and justice.
Since our start in 2021, Trestle has provided over $1.2 million in free tech services through our community of over 110+ mission-driven technologists who provide hands-on guidance to organizers working on the most critical high-impact issues.
Trestle is the only organization of its kind. We are the first and only group to attempt to bridge the lack of tech talent in the progressive space with a paid talent model & focus on recruiting and retaining more diverse senior technologists to the movement — that means more Black, Brown, Indigenous, women & non-binary, LGTBQ+, religious and ability-diverse tech leaders.
A women and POC-led team, Trestle has partnered with over 50 movement organizations, progressive tech orgs, campaigns & committees, and funders, including Movement Voter Project, the Sunrise Movement, Peoples’ Action, If/When/How, The Movement Cooperative, Reproductive Equity Now, Power the Polls, BallotReady, Vote.org and the Lawyers Committee on Civil and Human Rights.
