Built to bring tech and nonprofit communities closer together.
SV Tech for Good connects nonprofit needs with technology expertise — creating practical ways for nonprofit leaders and tech professionals to learn, collaborate, and build together.
Help nonprofits benefit from technology and AI.
We began with a simple observation: nonprofits are doing essential community work, while many of the people and capabilities that could strengthen that work sit just across the technology ecosystem.
Our role is to create thoughtful ways for those worlds to meet — around real needs, with people at the center.
Growing through practice, not theory.
The work has evolved over several years — from intensive collaboration around nonprofit challenges to a growing AI learning series.
First Basecamp
Early pilot bringing tech volunteers together to address social problems.
Second Basecamp
Five nonprofit partners brought real organizational challenges for tech volunteers to explore, design, and prototype together.
Community grows
Relationships and collaboration continue between Basecamp editions as the tech-for-good community keeps growing.
Third Basecamp
Seven Bay Area nonprofit partners joined a larger three-day collaborative experience with tech volunteers and community leaders.
AI for Nonprofits
