About TechBridge
Many nonprofits lack the expertise and financial resources to benefit from technology. TechBridge provides nonprofits the tools, resources and connections they need to better use technology to further their missions. This is made possible by the support TechBridge receives from corporations, individuals and foundations who come together in meaningful ways to benefit our community. TechBridge's signature fundraising gala, The Digital Ball, unites Atlanta's technology community to celebrate the impact technology can have in strengthening our community.
