What started as a pilot program created by a few passionate employees, PayPal’s Opportunity Hack has become a global movement that connects local nonprofits and communities to the technology, skills and training needed to make a difference. Since its founding in 2013, there have been nine Opportunity Hacks enlisting over 1,000 participants to help 125 organizations in need.

But more than winning, what’s most important to Opportunity Hack participants is the shared purpose of providing valuable solutions to empower nonprofits. From PayPal employees to community members and students, each person is wholeheartedly excited to dedicate their personal time and skills to the people and organizations making a positive impact on the world.
