Social ImpHacked: Socially Good Hacking

Hack good. Build things nonprofits need now.

Calling all engineers, designers, data scientists, and generally enthusiastic individuals! Social ImpHacked brings together tech and nonprofit worlds to provide technical assistance for local Bay Area nonprofits.

Over the course of a weekend we will solve some of the small but tangible problems that nonprofits face to increase efficiency and build relationships with existing and future clients.

We believe that by working hand-in-hand with local organizations, we can build technical solutions that truly make a difference in our communities. 

 So, come hack! There will be free food, music, fun, and a great network of awesome people.

All funding goes towards food, technical equipment, and space.

Schedule

Who are we building for?

We took aim at a variety of different local issues, from homelessness to access to legal services. Every nonprofit will be on-site throughout the hackathon, and is classified as 501(c)3 nonprofit status by the IRS.
