Why we’ve donated over $50 million in scholarships
Education is a basic human right
We launched DataCamp Donates to stay true to our mission of democratizing data and AI education for everyone. A person's income should not prevent them from learning foundational tools vital in the 21st-century skills economy.
Improving the most accessible data and AI learning platform on Earth
DataCamp breaks down all barriers to entry for those who want to learn to code. There’s no need to buy and download external software. Learning is all cloud-based, accessible at home or on the go, and available online or off. And it's the exact same content trusted by millions of data & AI professionals worldwide. No gated curriculum, and no credit card required.
Getting real people real jobs
With global unemployment and income disparities rising in 2024, we provide the training, tools, and confidence learners need to land their dream jobs. This is the ultimate goal of DataCamp Donates.
Championing nonprofit organizations
We give mainly to charities, trusts, and grassroots aid organizations that provide disadvantaged communities—BIPOC, women, refugees, and those with special needs—with free professional training and networking opportunities. We understand the obstacles facing nonprofits and work to customize the program to each group.
Supporting students straightaway
DataCamp Donates empowers student clubs to cut out the middleman and attain our scholarships directly. In exchange, they are responsible for vetting all applicants and promoting the program by sharing their professional success stories.
Equalizing the AI playing field
To ensure AI benefits humanity instead of harming it, the people developing it must reflect the diversity of the humans it aims to serve. DataCamp Donates gives learners in the poorest parts of the world the knowledge and skills to improve their situations and help create equitable data-driven solutions for everyone.
