Non-Profit Industry Challenges We Solve
We understand the unique demands of non-profit organizations and social impact sector and build solutions that address them head-on. With a market size of $480B US non-profit sector, $15B charity tech market, thenon-profit sector demands technology partners who truly understand the industry.
Donor Management & Fundraising
Non-profits depend on donations, making donor management critical. Organizations need CRM systems that track donor history, automate acknowledgments, segment audiences for targeted campaigns, manage major gift pipelines, and provide the financial reporting that board members and auditors require.
Volunteer Coordination & Engagement
Managing volunteers requires scheduling, skill matching, hour tracking, communication, and recognition programs. Larger organizations coordinate thousands of volunteers across multiple programs and locations, needing self-service portals and mobile-friendly tools for a non-technical user base.
Impact Measurement & Grant Reporting
Funders increasingly demand rigorous impact measurement. Non-profits need systems that track program outcomes, collect beneficiary data, generate grant reports, and demonstrate social ROI — translating complex social outcomes into quantifiable metrics that satisfy diverse reporting requirements.
Budget-Conscious Technology Decisions
Non-profits operate on thin margins with limited IT budgets. Technology investments must maximize impact per dollar, leverage non-profit discounts (Microsoft, Google, AWS), and provide long-term value without requiring expensive ongoing maintenance or dedicated technical staff.
