Who We Are

Mission

At Technology 4 Causes (T4C), we are committed to empowering and amplifying local charitable programs for the betterment of the community. Through our expertise in technology, networking, and collaboration, we strive to enhance the productivity and impact of the organizations we support. Our primary goal is to increase charitable activity and education within communities by providing technology and associated services to tax-exempt organizations. By harnessing the multiplying powers of technology, we enable these organizations to expand their reach and impact, and make a positive difference in the lives of those they serve.

Vision

The vision of Technology 4 Causes is to operate numerous Mentoring Programs, Technology Assistance Programs, Sports 4 Causes Programs, and Helping Hubs. The combination of these initiatives create a powerful multiplying effect for all T4C activities powered by a common technology platform and philanthropic infrastructure.

  • Mentoring Programs - Provide transformative educational and developmental opportunities to young students in various specialty areas such as writing, STEM, computer science, entrepreneurship, and others. T4C takes on projects that benefit a multitude of nonprofits and causes, by coordinating and operating these programs in partnership with our generous sponsors.
  • Technology Assistance Programs - Provide specialized information systems to nonprofits to help them operate their organizations more efficiently and effectively. T4C provides customized software systems and associated support services to provide a profound impact on a nonprofit's ability to tell its story, manage its events, coordinate and recruit its volunteers, streamline its communications, and much more. These solutions are provided in partnership with our generous sponsors to help nonprofits gain access to capabilities that often are outside their means or technical reach.
  • Sports 4 Causes Programs - Use the unifying power of sports to bring together persons around their shared interest, to experience the fellowship of their sport and to raise awareness of specific educational initiatives. T4C will operate several sports-specific events in various formats, such as leagues and tournaments, to help promote our educational initiatives, further extend our network, and provide fundraising for worthwhile causes. 
  • Helping Hubs - Provide a digital presence and online-accessible community that helps tell the stories of an organization or initiative regarding their needs and causes. These T4C websites assist nonprofits and other tax-exempt organizations in garnering participants, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and suppliers to assist them with their mission, events, and operations. These sites also help establish an extensive network that allows for cross-communication and the building of volunteer and mentoring resources that benefit all T4C programs.
