If you ever worked with any non-profit you know they are pretty behind on technology. But there is a new wave of non-profit organizations being built as “Technology Non-Profits”. Not your typical charity where they use technology, but a whole new way to solve a problem by the means of technology. Vittana is one of those companies.

Kushal Chakrabarti and Brett Witt founded Vittana in 2008 to help bring students loan to students on the developing world. It’s a type of Social Lending, but with the focus on helping kids to get a degree.

Huffington Post has named Vittana one of the 10 Ultimate Philanthropy Game Changers. That’s no small feat for a company that is just two years old and gets this kind of national attention by one of the largest media organizations on the web.

You can go to Huffington Post and vote for Vittana and help bring attention to this great local startup, affecting the world. Maybe this will trigger more tech non-profits to be created in Seattle and make this an even more vibrant community. So go give a 10 for Vittana at HuffPost.
