Tech Impact and Idealware Merge, Providing Full-Service Technology Education and Implementation Services to Nonprofits
PHILADELPHIA, September 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Tech Impact, a 501(c)(3) provider of nonprofit technology solutions and the operator of award-winning IT training programs for underserved youth, announced today that it plans to merge with Idealware, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and authoritative source for independent, thoroughly-researched technology resources for the social sector. The merger will be effective on September 30, and the companies will combine business operations in the coming year.
For more than a decade, both Tech Impact and Idealware have been independent leaders in the nonprofit technology capacity building sector. By merging, these two independent organizations can provide a greater scope of service and support under a single roof, giving nonprofits coordinated access to a wide range of impartial technology education, publications, and implementation services.
Tech Impact has long viewed Idealware as an essential capacity builder in the sector and has sponsored several Idealware publications over the years. Their research is impartial, which aligns with our agnostic view on technology. We couldn't be more excited to welcome the Idealware team into the Tech Impact family and are eager to expand our service offerings and continue our mission of helping nonprofits do more good in the world.
