We are now accepting nonprofit participants for the 2021 program. Read more about the program below and then GET STARTED HERE by Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
Charlotte ranks last out of 50 major cities for the ability to escape poverty. Your nonprofit supports economic opportunity and works to improve that ranking every day. And with the right technology, you could be unstoppable.
What if you could uncover ways to more efficiently and effectively achieve your mission by tapping into innovative, pro bono consulting? And then, what if you were given the funding and support to make it happen?
