Techathon
Techathon connects local nonprofits with technologists, volunteers, and service providers to solve real-world technology challenges. Whether your organization needs help with a website, automation, data, AI, cybersecurity, or general tech planning, Techathon is designed to help you find practical support and build lasting connections.
Bring a mission challenge. Build a tech-enabled solution.
Nonprofits get targeted technology support. Volunteers deliver real project impact. Apply now and get matched quickly.
Student + professional teams
Problems in your community are real. Tech solutions can be too.
Last year, one Frederick nonprofit turned a tech challenge into a working solution.
Woman to Woman Mentoring (W2WM) came to the Techathon with a broken program-tracking system. By working alongside our team of students and professionals, W2WM was able to develop a more robust data tracking system, allowing for more efficient data capture and better data insights. In all, this resulted in more structured operations, easier onboarding and training of staff, and the ability to more efficiently apply for grants and fundraising opportunities.
