About Us
The Civic Hacker Network exists to create and empower a globally connected community of people who are using data and technology to create positive social change.
We amplify the work our membership is doing by providing a platform through which “civic hackers” can publicize their projects, collaborate, and get the support they need.

Why we are taking part
The purpose of the Civic Hacker Network is to connect people working to use data and technology to make a positive impact in their communities.
We aim to amplify the work our membership is doing by providing a platform through which “civic hackers” can publicize their projects, collaborate, and get the resources and support they need
We want to fill the gaps in support and resources that are available to help early stage social impact initiatives and businesses work sustainably toward their goals. Funds raised will be used to support our operations and keep resources, workshops, and virtual events free or low cost for changemakers.
If we meet our $10,000 goal, we will also be able to launch a mini-grants program this year and start financially supporting "civic-hackers" all over the world!
The Million Steps Challenge:
Your Life, Your Challenge, Your Way™
Walking is great for our physical and mental health. But we tell ourselves we can’t find the time, we’re tired, we’ll start tomorrow.
But, big things can happen from very small beginnings. Walk, jog, run, hop or even dance your way to a million steps. It all adds up to an awesome 500 miles!
Challenge yourself, connect with friends, and raise money for a good cause. No more travelling to events, overnight stays, worries about training, expensive entry costs or high fundraising targets
It’s a 100-day celebration of MOVEment and Wellbeing!
And every participant receives an introduction to leading a mindful life with audio tracks and and strength and conditioning videos too!
