NuggetLove

At CBT Nuggets, we care deeply about making a difference in the global community, and we believe training helps people and organizations thrive. The NuggetLove program translates these values into corporate social responsibility.

NuggetLove

How do you build a more sustainable world? One pair of hands at a time. We help the humanitarians who are shoring up local communities across the globe.

The NuggetLove method is simple: We partner with organizations that create self-sustaining communities. That means they do more than just address basic human needs like water, shelter, and sanitation. They also educate people, encourage entrepreneurship, and help stimulate local economies.

Once we find them, we provide targeted financial support and consulting. All strategically focused to help them grow, amplify their impact, and become sustainable themselves.



My organization could use some help.

If we love your work and think you’re a good fit, let’s take it to the next level. You bring the mission. We’ll bring the consultant.

Step 1: Apply
Each year we choose a handful of nonprofits and non-governmental organizations to partner with. Respond to our RFP to see if you might be one of them.

Step 2: Meet your consultant
You’ll work with Shelly Galvin, our Director of Corporate Social Responsibility. She’s amazing — a global fundraiser and nonprofit consultant with experience developing small businesses in Africa and the Middle East.

Step 3: Work with us
We target our temporary consulting services at the areas where humanitarian groups need the most help—capacity development training and financial support for:

  • Resource development
  • Communications
  • Strategy

Our sustainability mission

We believe businesses should leave the world better than they found it. So we joined the UN Global Compact and made a commitment to sustainability. To us, that means more than just donating our used technology (although we do that too). We also use our training expertise to make people and organizations more self-reliant.


Transitioning from military service

Leaving military service for civilian life is a huge transition. We should know—our owner is a U.S. veteran. We’ve helped ease that transition by providing free IT training to more than 9,000 users from every branch of the armed forces through our:
