Mission Statement
Hack4Impact is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization founded at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with chapters at various colleges across the United States. We collaborate with nonprofits and other socially responsible organizations to develop software that meets important social and humanitarian needs.
About This Cause
Hack4Impact exists for both nonprofits and students. We connect student software developers with nonprofits and other socially responsible businesses to develop powerful new tools for social change. This enables nonprofits to further their mission and better engage their clients. We are committed to increasing awareness of technology’s potential for good. We host speaker events and develop workshops for students, open to the entire university community. We envision a tech industry that emphasizes social impact as a core tenet of success. We hope to see similar Hack4Impact-type chapters opening up across the country both in academic institutions and professional communities. We envision more open-source projects, more university courses, and more academic research being poured into the intersection between social impact and software engineering. In addition, we envision Hack4Impact to be a space for socially-responsible organizations to turn to for resources and education.
