Welcome to AZGiveCamp

AZGiveCamp is a massive weekend event where the software development community comes together to support charities and non-profits by developing or improving their web sites and applications. It's fun, it's agile, it's geeky, and it's good for the community.

If you are interested in helping out as a volunteer, organizer, or sponsor, we would like to hear from you! Please check out our FAQs, and then drop us an email through our Contact Us page.

    • Call for Volunteers

      AZGiveCamp is on and we need your help! This is a big event, working with possibly hundreds of developers, dozens of non-profits, dozens of sponsors, and big logistical problems.

      We are making a call for volunteers to help with the organizational side of Give Camp. We need dedicated professionals that can devote significant amounts of time to help get Arizona Give Camp going. This is an all volunteer effort, and it will take many months of sustained effort to have a successful event. We will need teams to work with non-profits and charities; to work with sponsors; to organize the developers, designers, and business analysts; handle servers and networking issues; coordinate logistics including venue, hospitality, etc… the list goes on!

      Your technical skills are important, but what we need most is dedication and energy. If you have an interest in leading a development team, assisting with the analysis, or helping out with technical or non-technical tasks, please contact us.
