Giving Day 2021

Giving Day is the day your support can change the lives of 80 undergraduate students and set them on a path toward their dream career and societal impact.

The Tech4Good Lab is pioneering a unique model that provides undergraduate students with opportunities to advance research and build platforms for social good, and to make real contributions while learning the skills needed. We've grown to 60 students ranging from freshman to seniors, with 60 percent women and majors including engineering, psychology, biology, art, and English. These students are building apps such as Causeway, a platform for learning web development while supporting nonprofits, and most start the program without any prior project-based experience. They're helping us work towards the vision articulated in our TEDx talk on Redesigning Our Economy to Maximize People's Fullest Contribution.

Your support will help us fund the Tech4Good Undergraduate Fellows Program, a one-year leadership program that develops undergraduate student leaders for the program, and which is crucial for us to increase the opportunities we can provide from 60 to 80 students.

Your donation will go toward creating stories like these (not real names, more stories here):

John is a senior who we squeezed into the program last minute. In a team meeting, John shared how he had been looking for a project-based experience ever since freshman year, and could never land one. He was so happy. He's now had experience building web apps, is applying to grad school, and wants to build technology and products for social good.

Isabel initially struggled to make her commitments. Later, our team learned she was struggling with bipolar. She dropped out from school, but continued in Tech4Good. And because she had an opportunity even when she was struggling, she later became one of the lab's top designers and was awarded an incredibly selective fellowship at a top VC firm.

Every student has a unique contribution to make to society. They just need the opportunity. If you believe in creating opportunity for the next generation, make a gift to join our mission! Thank you!
