ABCD was thrilled to participate in the State Street 2024 Development Accelerator Program Hackathon, where two teams of State Street employees spent five days developing solutions to address challenges faced by ABCD and other Boston-based nonprofits. At the end of the Hackathon, both teams pitched their solutions to a panel of ABCD representatives who evaluated the pitches and chose a winner. Thank you to State Street for selecting ABCD to participate and to Taproot Foundation for facilitating this partnership!
