ThinkThank Meetup to Hack For Good

ThinkThank (n. \ˈthiŋkˈthaŋk\):  A collaborative network focused on solving social-sector challenges by connecting professionals that help realize ideas and solutions that create impact.

Non-profit and social enterprises have a myriad of problems: Scaling, operations, marketing, technology, the list goes on. Yet, there are many altruistic professionals in the private sector want to find a way to give that uses their skills and engage directly with the causes they believe in. 

ThinkThank envisions a world where “giving” is redefined. Where the toughest challenges facing the social sector are tackled, the brightest ideas implemented, and their stories of impact shared with the world. By curating hackathon-esque events, this medium provides the collaborative space for these professionals to provide much needed insight to social-sector organizations. We collaborate at events, but also are building an ongoing network of people, resources, and opportunities to help these groups.
