Meet Apparo, a nonprofit for nonprofits:
We help local nonprofits leverage technology and improve business processes to expand how they create positive social change in our community.
Pro Bono Services for Nonprofits
What We Believe
Nonprofits are devoted and purpose-driven, but often lack the resources to reach more people in need. Connecting nonprofits to corporate volunteers gives them access to IT education and training, and affordable IT solutions that they need to effectively achieve their missions. Philanthropy is woven into Charlotte’s corporate fabric, with employees who are eager to support a cause and impact the community using their skills.
Creating Connections for Positive Social Change in Our Community
Success Stories
Apparo empowered more than 125 nonprofit organizations in 2019.
