Online, January 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - TechBridge, a nonprofit that provides professional, affordable technology services to other nonprofits, announced today that it is accepting applications for the 2011 Technology Innovation Award, presented by Accenture. The award will help a Georgia nonprofit fulfill its creative, technology vision.

"We know that creativity and ingenuity run deep in the nonprofit community", said TechBridge CEO, Kathleen Kurre.

The 2011 Technology Innovation Award winner will receive $25,000 in TechBridge services and a $5,000 grant to support the technology project, both underwritten by Accenture, as well as up to $25,000 in donated software. The winner and two finalists will be presented May 7, 2011 during the TechBridge Digital Ball, which will host more than 800 of Atlanta's most influential technology and business leaders.
