We are incredibly honored and excited to announce that Pass I.T. On - Community Technical Training has been selected as the beneficiary of the 2026 Constellation Energy iTEE Charity Golf Tournament! ⛳️⚡️

The annual iTEE Golf tournament brings together corporate leaders, tech professionals, and community partners for an incredible day of friendly competition and networking on the green. Beyond the great golf, it serves a massive purpose: driving resources directly into community organizations making a real impact.

The timing of this incredible partnership truly couldn't be better. It aligns with two major milestones for us:

1. Our 10th Anniversary! 🎂 Can you believe it will be a decade since we officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in November?

2. The Launch of our 1st Capital Campaign!

🏢 We are officially underway with our very first Capital Campaign to secure our permanent home, a dedicated HQ right at 7 E. Baltimore Street (more exciting details on that coming soon!).

We always say that closing the digital skills gap takes a village, and strong corporate partnerships are the ultimate force multiplier. Champions like Constellation Energy make it possible for us to deliver critical tech training, digital equity, and workforce pipelines to vulnerable populations.

A massive thank you to the IT team at Constellation for believing in our mission! We can’t wait to hit the course and look forward to shouting out all the amazing event sponsors in our upcoming posts.

Stay tuned!

Did you know that 90% of startups fail within their first few years? Most of the time, it’s not because the idea was bad—it’s because the foundation wasn't strong enough.

At Pass IT On, we’re changing that narrative. After a decade of navigating the ups and downs of nonprofit social enterprise work, we’ve decided to "pass on" everything we’ve learned.

Introducing Founder’s Forge, a specialized incubator for startup nonprofits, social enterprises, and lifestyle businesses ready to build for the long haul.

What makes the Forge different?

🚀 The 90-Day Sprint:
We move fast. Our intensive ramp-up takes you from "just an idea" to your 1st client in just 3 months.

🗓️ A Full Year of Support:
We stay in your corner for 12 months, providing the mentorship and structure needed to scale.

🏢 Free Coworking Space:
We eliminate the overhead! Our founders get access to a professional coworking space at zero cost.

🤝Collaborative Network:
You aren’t just joining a program; you’re joining our ecosystem. We prioritize internal collaborations on funded opportunities so our ventures can grow together.

We aren't just building businesses, we’re forging a community of impact-makers.
