📖 The Story

Who, When, and Where — Context

Founded in 2021, Tech To The Rescue (TTTR) is a Poland-based nonprofit that matches tech companies with nonprofit organizations globally.

Why — Challenge

There is a growing demand for tech-driven, effective humanitarian interventions. Modern nonprofit organizations must be equipped with tools to respond faster and more precisely to various global challenges, such as natural disasters and refugee crises. However, building such technical capacity in the emerging and rapidly growing domain is not straightforward for those in the impact sector.

What and How — Tech Solution

TTTR provides a matching service between tech companies and nonprofits to accelerate humanitarian efforts through the effective use of technology. After a carefully designed matching process, developers in the industry will work on pro bono tech projects and make a real impact with nonprofits. This collaboration builds a win-win relationship between the two parties, under the same “tech for good” umbrella.

💡 Key Insights

  • 😶‍🌫️ Lack of internal capacity in tech is a big challenge in the impact sector, where resources are constantly scarce and the potential benefits of technology adaptation are huge.

  • 🌱 There is a growing need in tech companies to engage in philanthropic initiatives, both at an organizational and individual level. Yet, it’s not straightforward for them to find an opportunity for “meaningful work.”

  • 🤝 Acting as an intermediate and connecting puzzle pieces, like TTTR, is a unique way to tap into the impact sector. Such platforms can amplify the positive impact each changemaker can independently generate.
