Does your organization need tech assistance? GeekCause can help!
Technology can be daunting for a nonprofit. That’s where GeekCause comes in. We help local organizations figure out how their agencies could better utilize tech, and we pair them with skills-based volunteers who can troubleshoot problems and implement solutions. Whether you have a vision for the help your agency needs, or you’re unsure of where to start, GeekCause and our volunteers are here to help.
GeekCause is a completely different way to volunteer.
By sharing your tech expertise and a bit of your time, you can build capacity for local organizations working hard to meet the most pressing needs in our community. Most GeekCause projects are completed collaboratively and on a flexible schedule by individuals or small teams working remotely.

Program History
The Hands On Skilled Volunteer Program connects mission-driven organizations with skilled volunteers to help meet critical community needs.
GeekCause was founded in 2017 by Atiba, a Nashville-based technology consulting firm, as a way for their employees to lend their skills to local nonprofits. With 130 volunteers and eight projects complete, Atiba saw an opportunity to expand the program’s reach through a partnership with Hands On. Thanks to generous support from The Frist Foundation, GeekCause now has a home at Hands On powered by the United Way of Greater Nashville, where we hope to continue the good work for great causes in our community.
In 2025, we expanded our Skilled Volunteer Program to offer skill-matching opportunities beyond technology, allowing nonprofits to connect with professionals in various fields.
