Full Circle Fund Invites you to the first Silicon Valley  Idea Lab! This nontechnical hackathon is hosted by Box.org and it takes a cue from our SF Idea Lab, which is one of our most popular annual events. Participants will have a chance to collaborate for a 90-minute session to help generate innovative solutions for 5 selected Nonprofit Partners. This is an exciting time for Members and guest thought partners to contribute their time and talent to a local organization and make a difference in just one night! Participants will hear from our Nonprofit Partners about a challenge or opportunity they have and then select a “working session” to participate in for the evening. At the conclusion of the event, you will hear demo-style wrap-ups from each ideation working group. Who Should Volunteer Volunteers coming to Idea Lab don't need any special skills! We are looking for thoughtful, strategic, empathetic professionals from all backgrounds willing to spend an evening collaborating with Bay Area social impact leaders. How We Select Nonprofit Participants An organization must be invited to participate. Full Circle Fund will be accepting nominations from a handful of strategic partners for strong candidates for Idea Lab. The team will further vet those nominated organizations and select 5 to engage at Idea Lab.
