Donna Hilliard

Executive Director, Code Tenderloin

Participating nonprofit in the 2023 Tech for Good Basecamp

"I'm blown away by the apps and everything that this team has created. So they're giving me tools where I would normally need maybe 10 people to do things, but they're adding ChatGPT, AI technologies, which is going to save us tons of dollars in the end…for me as Executive Director, really impact the budgeting and how I'm going to be staffing for the future. I can actually then speak to funders and grantees and say, this is why we need the money to do what we need to do."

2023 Tech for Good Basecamp Tech participant

"One thing I learned the most from this Basecamp is that we cannot just think about fancy technology like using AI. What really matters to this NPO is accessibility. You need to build something they can understand right away, and that's very easy for them to maintain."
