About Triceratops Technology Resources

Triceratops Technology Resources began in 2018 as a group of friends and tech professionals who wanted to give back. What started as a few small side-projects has revealed a larger need: many charities are struggling with technology in ways that directly affect their work. Over the years, we've expanded into a mission-driven nonprofit and volunteer network.
