Technology & Social Impact

TechBridge, Inc. is an Atlanta-based nonprofit with the mission to break the cycle of generational poverty through the innovative use of technology to transform nonprofit and community impact. They arm other nonprofits on the frontline of alleviating the causes of poverty with technology that will allow them to expand the impact of their mission for the millions of men, women and children who suffer from lack of access to shelter, food, employment, education, healthcare, and financial literacy.

Since 2000, they have provided IT consulting and services to thousands of nonprofits nationwide and in seven countries. By matching the needs of nonprofits with the skills and financial resources of the technology community, TechBridge helps nonprofits harness the innovative technology and best practices long enjoyed by the corporate sector. Their focus on data and measurable results helps nonprofits and their community partners streamline their work and better allocate resources to enhance their collective ability to create lasting positive change.
