We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping nonprofits and take on ambitious tech projects without big tech budgets.
Book a consultationWe bring together engineers, policy experts, and regulatory experts who work closely with nonprofits and government agencies on complex technology challenges. We build and design software systems, support tech research and strategy projects, and help organizations think through how emerging technologies affect the people and communities they serve.
We help organizations understand where their current tools fall short and what they need to work more effectively.
We work alongside your team to identify what’s worth building, improving, or rethinking, and build a strategy fit to your organization’s long-term needs and impact goals.
We identify the software, or design and build custom tools that support your mission and help your team make the most of them.
We want every non-profit effortlessly using the latest technology in the ways that best serve their work.
Every non-profit and civic organization should have access to the software tools and infrastructure they need to fulfill their mission without breaking the bank.
There’s no shortage of important work to do, so we’re intentional about where and how we contribute. We believe good technology starts with listening to the people and communities closest to the problem.
We believe nonprofits should be empowered to engage with technology critically, confidently, and on their own terms.
We believe good technical work should be empowering, not overwhelming. That means building tech for real people’s needs, not hype cycles.
When we build tools, we are intentional about open source licensing, and encourage our collaborators to act in kind. We promote financial transparency and collaboration.
Good ideas can get lost in layers of process. We work closely, collaboratively, and with high trust.
