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.
