December 10th and 11th
For 2022 we're planning to have a hybrid in-person and virtual hackathon hosted from ASU Tempe in Arizona.
We're asking hackers to only help a single nonprofit this year, us, so that we can great scale to meet the needs of nonprofits around the world.
Hackers will leverage pre-existing open-source code on ohack.dev (React, NextJS, Python, Heroku) to build based on some key themes we have identified.
2021 Global Virtual Fall Hackathon
2021 Global Virtual Fall Hackathon
October 18th to 25th 2021
We wanted to continue holding an online and global hackathon while we continue to emerge from the pandemic. Last year, all winning teams were distributed over the globe and allowed everyone to work together across geographies to solve problems for nonprofits.
Like last year, we plan to hold this over an entire week with Monday as a kickoff, and the following Monday for judging, awards, and celebration.
2020 Hackathon Emerging from the pandemic
2020 Hackathon Emerging from the pandemic
2020 was a different year for everyone. Instead of holding Opportunity Hack at various locations around the global, it made more sense for us to team up for a global and online hackathon. This was our first week-long and online-only hackathon to benefit nonprofits as we looking forward to 2021 and emerge from the pandemic.

Summer Volunteer Internship 2020
Given that many companies have cancelled their internships, we wanted to help by offering some experience from our set of nonprofit problems that we source through Opportunity Hack. This is an entirely online experience, you only need some passion, a computer, and an internet connection.
Calling all Nonprofit Organizations
Calling all Nonprofit Organizations
Opportunity Hack strives to match highly-skilled volunteers (i.e. top-notch engineers and other professionals from PayPal, other local companies, and colleges) with nonprofit organizations (NPOs) that need technological solutions for critical challenges. The goals for Opportunity Hack are to solve existing problems for NPOs and to foster a connection with technologists that can extend beyond a single weekend.
