Tech volunteers and nonprofit representatives go over project steps.


Nonprofits are notoriously low on funds, but in the Web 2.0 age, a strong, online presence is crucial for nonprofits to connect with their donors, volunteers and community.

Two years ago, developers in Dallas, TX with a penchant for social good put together their own remedy: GiveCamp. This weekend-long, volunteer-run event addresses nonprofit tech needs by pairing nonprofits with volunteer Web developers, programmers and designers. The concept spread and since then, there has been over ten cities involved and three GiveCamps in Michigan.
