About
Impact Day is a day-long cross-sector hackathon that leverages corporate sector talent for social sector needs. We pair nonprofits in need of capacity-building support to a team of experts in their field who give their time pro bono to tackle challenges and develop tangible solutions. Each Impact Day focuses on a specific functional area to create a cohort of professionals who are all working in similar careers and a cohort of nonprofits who can offer each other support and guidance as they go through similar challenges.
Impact Day is for:
Nonprofit organizations that have a challenge that can be tackled in a day can apply to participate. Impact Day will always be free for nonprofits to attend and nonprofits located anywhere are able to attend virtual events. Organizations that are a member of HandsOn Twin Cities are prioritized.
Professionals with expertise that matches the nonprofit’s challenge area who are interested in volunteering their time and talent pro bono to social organizations
