Twitter for Good
Using the positive power of Twitter to strengthen our communities
Our company is built on community. Together, we can be a force for good.
OUR MISSION
We use the positive power of Twitter to strengthen our communities through our platform, people, and profits.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Internet safety and education
We help people understand healthy digital habits and online safety. We support organizations that tackle issues like bullying, abuse, and hate speech. We support initiatives that defend and respect all voices by promoting free expression and defending civil liberties.
Freedom of speech and civil liberties
We support initiatives that defend and respect all voices by promoting free expression and defending civil liberties.
Equality
We support equality and universal acceptance for all people, and recognize that while talent is found everywhere in the world, opportunity is not. We work with organizations dedicated to promoting equal opportunity, particularly in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).
Environmental conservation and sustainability
We work with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) around the globe to harness the power of Twitter to raise awareness and encourage action to protect environmental conservation and sustainability.
Crisis and emergency response
When emergencies and natural disasters strike, we offer tools and programs that help people around the world with communication and humanitarian response.
Platform

We offer pro bono advertising credits to nonprofits as a way to use the power of Twitter's advertising platform to amplify their message.
Data for Good
In partnership with the UN Global Pulse Lab, we leverage Twitter data to work toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development goals.

We do this by partnering with nonprofit organizations, Twitter employees, and community residents. Our programs focus on advancing internet safety and education, equality and workforce development, and capacity building for NGOs. From career mentorship and STEAM education to Twitter training and hosted event space, we work to empower the community while cultivating empathy and equity.
