Tech solutions for any nonprofit's budget 

More than half of small businesses surveyed say unfamiliarity with digital tools is a challenge. Meanwhile, 89 percent of nonprofits lack confidence in their digital approach. Tech issues can snowball and hold many agencies back from effectively meeting the needs of their clients. That's where Hands On's GeekCause program comes in. We pair skills-based volunteers with agencies in need of their services for low-cost, high-impact tech solutions.
