Tech Impact

What Tech Impact does

Tech Impact is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded in 2003 (originally as NPower Pennsylvania) and operating with 51-100 employees across offices in Philadelphia, Delaware, Las Vegas, and Nashville. The organization pursues a dual mission: delivering comprehensive technology services to other nonprofits and operating free workforce development programs that prepare underrepresented young adults (ages 18-26) for IT careers. As of February 2026, Tech Impact supported 400+ nonprofit clients with managed IT services and reported a 97% client retention rate in 2025, while its ITWorks program had graduated more than 1,000 students with 80%+ placed within six months.

The technology services portfolio spans managed IT support and voice communications, email and cloud migrations, website/branding/digital strategy, cybersecurity (via the SecCheck assessment product), data/AI/analytics (anchored by the Data Innovation Lab division merged in 2021), strategic tech planning, and software selection (with Salesforce and Microsoft expertise via the Message Agency division merged in 2023). Tech Impact's core technology stack is Microsoft-centric: Microsoft 365, Power Platform, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Azure, and Power Automate, augmented by Qualtrics for surveys and Salesforce for CRM. AI is applied within this stack for policy generation (PolicyBuilder v2, combining Qualtrics, Azure scripts, and generative AI), oncology data extraction, and Microsoft Copilot optimization services. Workforce programs include the 16-week ITWorks course (CompTIA A+ and Cisco IT Essentials certifications plus paid internship), Pathway to Middle Skills for career advancement, and CXWorks for customer experience training; 70% of ITWorks participants come from low-to-moderate income backgrounds and 80% are women or people of color.

Tech Impact's revenue model combines subscription-based managed IT services to nonprofits, fixed-fee engagements (e.g., $2,750 Website Security & Privacy Audit), free productized tools (PolicyBuilder v2), grant-funded workforce programs, foundation grants (including a $560,000 MacArthur Foundation grant in March 2026 for journalism/media cybersecurity), corporate partnerships (Microsoft, Cisco, Las Vegas Raiders, Morgan Stanley, GitLab Foundation), and event/training revenue through the Technology Learning Center and the annual Tech Forward Conference (2026 edition scheduled September 27-29 in Kansas City, MO).
