It sounds like a reality TV show: Three nonprofits tell us their biggest challenges. Then a team of our employees, all with different areas of expertise, finds solutions. One day, three nonprofits and a whole bunch of new ideas.
The benefits are many:
- Nonprofits get access to skillsets they may not have internally and an interruption-free day where their challenge is the sole focus.
- They leave with promising ideas and prototypes to power past the problem.
- Alliant Energy employees get practice innovating together and working with speed.
So far, we’ve done two nonprofit Ideathons, and the success stories are rolling in.
