Our Mission is to Support Nonprofits
Since 2014, dsmHack has brought together hundreds of passionate volunteers to serve more than 90 local nonprofits, donating over $1.85 million worth of technical solutions at no cost to the organizations we support. Our mission has always been simple yet powerful: remove technology barriers so nonprofits can focus on what they do best—serving our community. In 2026, we’re building on that legacy by expanding our impact with two new events designed to empower nonprofit leaders and fuel impact like never before.
Join us at one of our upcoming events!
“I can NOT thank you enough for your work on this program. I would have lost my mind had we done this manually. Thank you so, so much for supporting my dream to support Iowa foster kids in this way!!! You are all amazing.”
— Traci Schermerhorn, Foster SQUAD
“I came into this with a huge problem. People were getting frustrated trying to use PDFs and zooming in on maps. Now we can do it ourselves. It’s easy to use, it adds real value to our programs, and the cost savings alone make a huge difference. The potential to expand this to future programs is enormous.”
— Charlie Lynch, Neighborhood Finance Corporation
