2026 TechForChange Nonprofit Hackathon: Build software solutions for local causes. Collaborate, create, and help nonprofits better serve their communities this July.
TechForChange Nonprofit Hackathon 2026
From July 9–11, 2026 — Thursday through Saturday — join us at Hyatt House in Warrenville, IL, conveniently located off I-88, for a 48-hour nonprofit hackathon where developers, designers, QAs, PMs, business analysts, students, AI tool users, and tech-minded volunteers work together to build practical technology solutions for nonprofits in Chicago’s West Suburbs.
This event is focused on creating real, useful tools. Depending on the nonprofit’s needs, teams may work on a website, internal application, form or workflow improvement, data organization tool, automation, reporting dashboard, or another software-based solution that helps the organization save time and serve people more effectively.
