Code with Pride: Hackathon for LGBTQ+ Resilience

Join the hackathon focusing on creating real solutions for organizations on the front-lines protecting our communities.

Why This Matters

LGBTQ+ organizations are facing unprecedented funding cuts, and many corporate sponsors are turning their backs to us. This hackathon provides a unique opportunity to create innovative solutions that help organizations address their current challenges and achieve their mission. While reminding our community that we have the power, skills and resources to take care of ourselves, and build even more resilience for our LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

Who's It For ?

LGBTQ+ Organizations

With limited budgets, and funding cuts... many organizations are scaling down, letting people go, or closing altogether. However, what if it were possible to leverage technology to help you continue to fulfill your mission with a much smaller budget?

We are looking for non-profits or advocacy organizations who want to collaborate with developers who can create custom tools to address your specific needs. This is an opportunity to access pro bono technical expertise, and solutions that can amplify your impact.

Connect with us, to figure out if we can support you and your organization, and develop goals & success criteria for hackathon outcomes.

Technologists and Designers

Are you a developer, designer, or tech enthusiast passionate about making a difference? This is your opportunity to use your skills to create real-world solutions that empower our LGBTQ+ community.

At this hackathon, you'll collaborate with a diverse team, develop your portfolio, and network with industry leaders. Best of all, you can contribute to making an impact that continues long after World Pride is over, making positive changes for our community.

Allies and Supporters

Support innovation and empower the LGBTQ+ community by becoming a sponsor of the Code with Pride hackathon. Your contribution will help make this event a success and directly support the development of vital tech solutions.

As a sponsor, you'll gain valuable brand visibility, connect with a diverse and engaged audience, and demonstrate your commitment to social responsibility. We offer various sponsorship packages to align with your goals.

The Vision

A 2-day hackathon event during World Pride, where technologists, organizational leaders, and the community join together to discuss their vision and missions within the LGBTQ+ community, and work together to brainstorm and create workable solutions.

Leading up to the event, we will work with 3-5 organizations to create specific problem or needs statements, for their main challenges. In order to help the hackathon attendees have a more streamlined experience.
