The Technology Foundations for Nonprofits program continues with our 3rd cohort embarking on their educational journey.

Apparo kicked off our third initiative to support United Way of Greater Charlotte (UWGC) nonprofits. These nonprofits are members of one of two UWGC initatives :

• Unite Charlotte – providing not only funding, but also capacity-building initiatives, to local grassroots organizations advancing racial equity and addressing economic mobility.
