About TechBridge

TechBridge is a nonprofit that arms other nonprofits on the frontline of alleviating the causes of poverty and 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.

We are a group of technology-minded, people-focused problem solvers. We believe the best way to eliminate generational poverty is by helping to grow the impact of the nonprofits who have their boots on the ground. The TechBridge mission is to break the cycle of generational poverty through the innovative use of technology to transform nonprofit and community impact. We fulfill our mission by providing nonprofits engaged in poverty alleviation with improved capabilities, data, and operations; enhancing agency collaboration through data and resource sharing; and improving collective action among communities through performance metrics, shared outcomes, and insightful analytics. TechBridge works to give people the best chance of avoiding poverty through technology enhancements that build capacity and facilitate collaboration within communities. We support organizations that work within our four pillars: Hunger Relief, Homeless Support, Social Justice, and Workforce Development.
