All solutions built need to be based on the NetSuite SuiteCloud
platform and should address the challenges outlined by the
nonprofits, which are both recipients of grants awarded by the
NetSuite.org corporate citizenship program:
- Found Animals Foundation (www.foundanimals.org), a
Los Angeles-based innovative
animal welfare foundation that has helped over 1,000,000 pets and
their people through pet adoption, spay and neuter, microchipping
and other initiatives.
- Good360 (www.good360.org), connects companies who have
products with nonprofits who need them. Since 1983, Good360 has
distributed more than $8 billion in
donated goods around the world, helping our network of 40,000
prequalified nonprofits strengthen communities and improve the
lives of millions of people in need.
A panel of judges that includes NetSuite Founder, CTO and
Chairman of the Board Evan Goldberg and representatives of the two
nonprofits will select the winning solutions, following live
presentations from each team.
"Hackathon 4Good is a creative way for SuiteWorld attendees to
help out two worthwhile charities dedicated to social good while
having fun, networking with others and making this year's
SuiteWorld especially memorable," said David Geilhufe, Senior Director of NetSuite.org.
"Besides doing good work for charities, the winning team(s) will
receive some fantastic prizes and bragging rights."
