Make a Difference

Currently TechBridge touches over 300 nonprofits, delivering affordable technology services, solutions, and education. Your support enables TechBridge to provide these critical services, which in turn increase the capacity of Georgia’s nonprofits to serve our community. Fees paid by nonprofits for technology services cover about half of TechBridge’s operating expenses; the other half
comes from generous sponsors of fundraising activities, most notably the organization's annual Digital Ball.

The technology services TechBridge provides improve a nonprofit’s ability to deliver on its mission effectively - enabling future donations to the nonprofit to go further. By making one donation to TechBridge you are helping hundreds of nonprofits harness the power of technology, assuring a stronger, better community for us all. In fact, every $100 you contribute enables a nonprofit to receive $200 worth of services.

But don't just take our word for it, listen to what Vince Smith, Executive Director of Atlanta's Gateway Center has to say about TechBridge's impact on Gateway's mission to end chronic homelessness:

"I ran into John* in our center several weeks ago. He was a mess - mentally and physically. Frankly, the kind of person many would cross the street to avoid. I saw John again today - he's a different man. And proud to tell me that he has a part time job and will be moving out of the Gateway Center tomorrow. John has been participating in a Gateway Center program which focuses on ending homelessness. Turns out the first time I met him he had a mental health condition that was going untreated. Now properly diagnosed by our psychiatrist and on the right medication, he's looking forward to taking charge of his life again. Your support for the work of TechBridge made that happen.

TechBridge planned and implemented the infrastructure and software to make possible scheduling, tracking and reporting of services delivered at the Center. This enabled us to show that in the first year of operation we served 274 individuals with chronic mental illness and an additional 190 individuals who were alcohol/drug dependent and chronically mentally ill. We used those numbers to justify and secure funding for our onsite psychiatrist - the only homeless services center in Georgia to do so.

TechBridge's efforts have significantly enhanced operations at the Gateway Center. In the last year, TechBridge covered about half of its operating budget through the consulting fees paid by organizations like the Gateway Center and half from generous donations from companies like yours. Thank you for your commitment to the community... and those so often overlooked. The net result is for every hour of services I buy from TechBridge, you donate the next hour. I thank you for that, and John thanks you for that."
