Who We Are
We are a passionate team of experts dedicated to empowering nonprofits, tackling challenges with creativity, integrity, and a people-first mindset.
Dedicated to the Nonprofit Sector
We bring our many decades of specialized expertise to build and deliver simple but effective technology for nonprofits and foundations.
A Fresh Perspective for
Nonprofits
Technology for nonprofits is an important tool to help organizations achieve their missions, but the journey to get there can be hard. We work closely with your team to create tailored solutions with your goals and budget. Starting with strategic recommendations, hands-on enhancements, and ongoing support, we ensure your tech works for your organization, and not the other way around.
Resource constraints
Nonprofits face a myriad of challenges with their strategic use of technology, but a lack of resources (both human and capital) is often the root cause. This plays out several ways, including failed technology implementation projects, disconnected and outdated systems, and inefficient manual processes. It can be hard for nonprofits to develop a long-term, strategic plan for technology and then successfully secure the funding they need to implement it.
How we help
Working with us allows your organization to tap into the external expertise you need, when you need it. This is a cost-effective way to augment the resources you already have in-house, allowing you to focus on achieving your mission more effectively.
Staff turnover
When organizations struggle with inefficient, outdated systems, it’s the staff who really suffer. Work is harder when the systems that are supposed to support you are actually holding you back. Attracting and retaining staff is a challenge for any nonprofit and losing system knowledge when a team member resigns can hugely impact the goal of achieving the mission.
How we help
It’s simple: an efficient and integrated system is easier and more enjoyable for your staff to use. This frees up their time to do more of what they enjoy at work, and less of what they don’t.
Accelerated change
Technology for nonprofits is evolving rapidly, placing increasing pressure on organizations to keep up, adapt, and respond strategically. As we look ahead, this pressure will only grow, becoming a central component of the charitable sector’s strategic planning. Developing a long-term plan for your organization's evolving use of technology is essential for success, ensuring that your organization remains agile, efficient, and effective in achieving your mission.
How we help
Leverage our expertise to confidently select and drive adoption of new and existing technologies. This helps your organization be flexible and adaptable so technology can further your mission, not hold it back.
A fresh perspective for
foundations
Technology is an important piece of the puzzle for foundations but is often a source of frustration for staff and leadership. Measuring impact, communicating effectively with grantees, integrating data across platforms – it's a lot. Our team has deep roots in the philanthropic sector and will build tailor-made solutions for your foundation that are aligned with best practices and your mission.
System silos
Many foundations struggle with systems that are highly customized - but not integrated - due to the complex nature of the grant management process. This can result in difficulty with reporting and compliance, staff frustration, and complex requirements for enhancements and upgrades. In fact, many technological frustrations at foundations can be attributed to data being in silos.
How we help
Our highly experienced team makes recommendations for integrating data and systems to give your staff and leadership increased visibility across the entire organization.
Difficulty measuring impact
Change doesn't happen overnight. Many philanthropic organizations seek to track impact over a long time, which indirectly means a sustained data collecting and tracking process. Unfortunately, system limitations can make it difficult to effectively measure impact, especially over extended periods of time. Add to that the additional challenge of technological change and staff turnover, and you have the recipe for a major foundation headache!
How we help
Our team of experts build long-term impact measurement plans for your organization, supported by technology, so your team feels confident in their ability to collect, analyze, and report on impact measurement data.
Communication
Foundations often experience friction when collecting and analyzing data from their grantees, and communication challenges are a root cause. Communication throughout the grantmaking lifecycle is often fragmented and across various systems, leading to reporting and compliance challenges. This adds an additional burden to both leadership and staff as they try to track communication, schedule reminders, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
How we help
Streamlining communication with grantees is essential to allow a smooth and efficient grantmaking process. A simple yet streamlined system allows your organization to achieve this – and we can help.
