20Fathoms Spring 2026 Nonprofit Hackathon

20Fathoms is running its quarterly nonprofit hackathon and is recruiting builder teams.

Several local Traverse City nonprofits have submitted operational problems that could be solved with a focused weekend of building. Examples from past cohorts include volunteer-scheduling tooling, intake forms that replace paper workflows, and lightweight dashboards for grant reporting.

We're looking for solvers (engineers, designers, and product-minded folks) who want to commit a weekend to pair with a nonprofit, scope a problem with them on Friday evening, build through Saturday, and demo Sunday afternoon. Food and space provided at the 20Fathoms incubator.

Fit signals: you like narrow, shippable scope; you're comfortable talking directly to non-technical stakeholders; you can commit the full weekend.

Want to solve this?

Drop your email and a short note. We'll connect you with 20Fathoms (Traverse City) to talk scope.
