Hack for Social Impact is expanding to Seattle in partnership with Women in Tech (WIT) Regatta, bringing together technologists to deploy innovative solutions for real-world challenges.
Hack for Social Impact is a 501(c)(3) that aims to bridge the gap between organizations solving hard problems in an increasingly complicated world and tech talent eager to do meaningful work and make a lasting impact.
In 2026, we're partnering with Women in Tech (WIT) Regatta to bring Hack for Social Impact to Seattle for the first time, following two successful years of hosting the event in the Bay Area. This expansion reflects our growing community of technologists committed to applying their skills toward meaningful social challenges.
Join us for a full-day hackathon where we aim to deploy innovative engineering solutions for real-world challenges facing humanity and explore the frontiers of cutting-edge technologies and their positive societal applications.
