What we’re about
Join our Discord collaboration platform!
This group was on the verge of closure—until now. Stepping up as the new organizer, I saw an opportunity to transform it into something greater. Philanthropicode is a community of technologists, developers, and problem-solvers committed to using technology to address longstanding challenges and create lasting impact.
We don’t just build projects—we build solutions that matter. Our focus includes:
✔ Civic & Social Good – Developing tech-driven solutions for pressing societal issues.
✔ Local Business Support – Helping small businesses leverage technology to thrive.
✔ Sustainable Innovation – Exploring ways to spin off projects into companies that can sustain themselves.
Through collaboration, hackathons, and open-source projects, we aim to develop tools that improve lives and drive meaningful change.
If you’re passionate about tech and want to apply your skills toward real-world impact, join us. Let’s turn ideas into action.

R. House, 301 W 29th St, Baltimore, MD, USThis Thursday (6:30–8:30 PM EDT), we’ll roll up our sleeves and keep improving the Philanthropicode Poll app — starting with a look at what members helped make happen.
### ✅ Recently completed
- Export poll results so you can download and analyze responses.
- Add location fields (state, city, and ZIP) to responses, unlocking future mapping.
- Verify email addresses for all participants to improve data quality.
Now we’re deciding what comes next — and we’ll get straight to work on the most-wanted features from the new member poll.
