Pluralsight One

What Pluralsight One does

Pluralsight One is the social impact and philanthropic division of Pluralsight LLC, a private U.S. technology education company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Draper, Utah. The entity operates through the Pluralsight One Fund, a corporate advised fund housed at Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN# 20-5205488). Pluralsight One's mission is to increase access to technology skill development for underrepresented communities and to diversify the technology workforce. The division's first grant-funded investment was made in 2019.

Pluralsight One's product surface is built on top of the parent company's Pluralsight Skills learning platform, which delivers courses across software development, cloud, data, mobile, security, and IT. The division packages that platform for mission-aligned buyers in three nonprofit/K-12 licensing tiers — Spark (entry-level access), Elevate (team skill-building), and Amplify (advanced analytics and guided learning at scale) — and adds the CSTA+ Benefit, a freemium offering for K-12 computer science teachers that is delivered in partnership with the Computer Science Teachers Association. Complementing the licensing business, Opportunity Academies are immersive bootcamp-style programs that train non-technical learners for entry-level software, data, and IT roles, connecting them with enterprise hiring sponsors.

Commercially, Pluralsight One generates nominal revenue from discounted nonprofit subscriptions and channels grants from Pluralsight LLC, product-sale revenue, and equity contributions through the Pluralsight One Fund. Over three years, the fund has disbursed more than $38 million in product and financial grants, served 800+ nonprofit and K-12 customers, and engaged 46,000 learners across 2 million hours of content. Distribution is partner-led: TechSoup Global Network validates 501(c)(3) eligibility as the top-of-funnel channel, and seven strategic workforce and education partners (Year Up United, Apprenti, CodePath, Girls Who Code, LaunchCode, NPower, Malala Fund, Norwegian Refugee Council) co-deliver programming. In December 2025, Pluralsight One announced a $1.5 million three-year grant to Code.org and partnerships with Code.org and CSTA, extending its footprint into formal K-12 computer science education.
