Invest in upward mobility
CodeSquad was born from the realization that Greater Boston's booming tech economy was leaving behind our local communities of color. High-tech districts like Kendall Square in Cambridge have low unemployment, high average salaries and excellent job security. But the picture is very different in Nubian Square (formerly Dudley Square) in Roxbury, or in neighborhoods like Dorchester, Mattapan or Hyde Park. CodeSquad seeks to build a bridge from Boston's urban core to its technology job market, and develop a new pipeline of software talent for area employers.
CodeSquad has received the Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.
CodeSquad was named to MassTLC's Tech Top 50 for Community Impact.
How to help
You can help CodeSquad in several ways: directly using Stripe payments, through a Donor-Advised Fund, and matching gifts through your employer.
A donor-advised fund is like an investment account for charity. Donors make an irrevocable contribution to the fund, and take a tax deduction for the total amount. The funds are then distributed in smaller amounts to charities of the donor's choice (like CodeSquad).
