HCB by Hack Club

Welcome to the HCB codebase!

What is HCB?

HCB is an open source, safe, and easy-to-use fiscal sponsorship platform for hackathons, Hack Clubs, robotic teams and more. We use it to run our fiscal sponsorship program, we provide high schoolers with a 501(c)(3) status-backed restricted fund for their organization. Behind the scenes, HCB is a Ruby on Rails application (learn more by reading our documentation).
