Eighth Annual New England GiveCamp Charity Hackathon

WATERTOWN, Mass. - Feb. 14, 2017 - PRLog -- New England GiveCamp, a 48-hour long event providing no-cost technology solutions to local charities, returns to BlueMetal's Watertown, MA, office on April 28-30th.  Over the past seven New England GiveCamps, area volunteers have supported nearly 150 projects for over 100 non-profit organizations across New England.

GiveCamp volunteers collaborate to help numerous, often underfunded, local agencies. These non-profits fill gaps not fully covered by larger institutions, such as helping families dealing with childhood cancer, bridging educational gaps in at-risk communities, and fostering economic growth and diversity in local businesses.

BlueMetal, an Insight Company and event host, is the Diamond sponsor of the event for the third year in a row; additional fiscal and in-kind sponsorship opportunities are available for area businesses.

New England GiveCamp is now accepting project applications from 501(c)3s throughout New England via a newly revamped website at: http://newenglandgivecamp.org/. Volunteer registration for designers, technical specialists, and support staff will open March 20, 2017.
