Help PDXTech4Good give Thanks4Good! Nominate a Portland-area nonprofit or group for its outstanding use of tech.

PDXTech4Good wants to celebrate local nonprofits and social change groups that do amazing -- yet often unrecognized -- work with technology all year long.

You can help kick-start Thanks4Good by nominating an organization that impresses you through its remarkable use of tech for good. Any project or group is eligible; it need not be a registered nonprofit.

The deadline is this Sunday, Oct. 13 (at midnight) — extended! — so please make your nomination now!

We'll compile all the responses for everyone to see, and invite the community to vote on the top five groups to recognize.

Those five groups will then be invited to present at the PDXTech4Good event on Wednesday evening, November 6.

We'll also encourage our community to help raise a bit of money in recognition of the top vote-getter, which will be donated in full to that project. Our hope is that groups in our community will get some recognition -- and a few donations -- for the good work they're doing!

Help spread the word!
