Seattle GiveCamp Background and History
The first Seattle GiveCamp hackathon was held on January 14-16, 2011 in the Microsoft Commons. Since that first gathering of volunteers and nonprofits, Seattle GiveCamp has become a regular annual event, occuring every October at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. In recent years, we have consistently attracted over 100 volunteers. In fact, for the last three years, we had to close volunteer registration several weeks early because of an overabundance of generous volunteers. Since that first event in January of 2011, we have delivered over a 150 completed projects. This page helps to document our history.
