Charity Hack Weekend brings together charities and developers to revolutionise the collection of donations. Join us 19-20 September 2009 and be part of this extraordinary event. We’re looking for developers to come up with new and innovative ways of helping charities promote their causes and garner support.

What you will get access to on the day includes

  • JustGivings new API (available for the first time at this event)
  • MissionFish’s cash giving APIs available for the first time in the UK
  • PayPals new Beta Adaptive Payments API’s
  • Sneak Preview of other API’s

These are just some of the APIs that will be featured, there is no limit to the APIs that can be used.  Visit the event Wiki for links to documentation, attendees bios, and links to the applications created after the weekend.

What we hope to get from the weekend

We hope by the end of the weekend a number of interesting applications have been born that can be used by any charity under an open source style licence.
