Our Mission

In the tech channel, we work hard, play hard and, for the most part, earn a good living. Some of us donate time, but more often than not, we write a check to a charity and move on. While those one-off donations help, what could we do if we work together to raise money for a cause? It turns out that we can do a lot! Over the past nine years, we’ve raised more than $1.75 million for grassroots organizations through Tech4Change.

In 2025 and beyond, we plan to make a bigger impact with more fundraising events in partnership with industry publishers, event organizers, technology distributors and other organizations that support community-based charitable groups.

About Us

Tech4Change is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization composed of technology suppliers and channel partners that dedicate time and resources to aid grassroots charities across the U.S. Since our inception in 2014, we’ve raised more than $1.75 million for local grassroots charities that are often overlooked and underfunded. Through event-based fundraising, Tech4Change provides game-changing donations that go directly to the cause rather than administrative costs.

Our Story

Our founders, Angie Tocco and Laura Dashney,  saw an opportunity to bring individuals in the technology channel together to help organizations in our communities to thrive. In 2014, they hosted a “Mardi Gras” fundraiser in connection with a channel event in New Orleans with all proceeds benefitting a local charity, Raintree Family & Children’s Services. The inaugural event was a huge success and their idea for event-based fundraising took off.
