We’re a small team of technology advisors for nonprofits and community organizations in Indianapolis and across the Midwest. We sit in the room with you, explain the options in plain language, and make sure what you spend on technology serves your mission.
The organizations doing the most important work in our communities are often the least well served by the technology industry. Vendors sell software nobody asked for. Consultants arrive, write a report, and leave. And the executive director, already carrying too much, signs off on expensive technology with almost no one to ask.
You don’t need a helpdesk or another product. You need someone who understands your world, asks the right questions, and stays long enough to see the answer work.
Every dollar spent on the wrong technology is a dollar that didn’t reach the people you serve.
Three things you can expect from us in every engagement.
We have no financial stake in what you choose. When we help you weigh a purchase, a renewal, or a vendor, the only interest in the room is your mission.
We translate what a technology decision means for your staff, your budget, and the people you serve, so you and your board can decide with confidence.
A strategy document on a shelf isn’t worth much. We join your meetings, advise as decisions come up, manage your vendors, and see new tools through until your team is using them.
Every engagement is scoped to your organization, and the first conversation is always free.
Ongoing or one-time guidance on your technology decisions. We can review what you have and hand you a prioritized plan, or take a regular seat at your leadership table: weighing options, managing vendors, and tying each technology dollar to the mission, without the cost of a full-time hire.
A good fit when you’re facing a big purchase or renewal and nobody on staff can judge it.
Ask about thisA grounded look at where AI helps your organization and where it doesn’t. We evaluate tools, check whether you’re ready for them, help staff use them responsibly in work like grant writing and donor communications, and write a policy people can follow.
A good fit when staff are already trying AI tools and you have no policy yet.
Ask about thisTurning a technology need into a request funders can say yes to. We build the budget, the outcomes language, and the impact narrative, so the ask reads as an investment in your programs.
A good fit when you know what you need but can’t fund it from operations.
Ask about thisFrom technology implementation and guidance to development work, a project engagement is a flexible way to meet your organization’s particular technology needs and get past the niche challenges that don’t fit anywhere else.
A good fit when you have a specific need and want it handled from start to finish.
Ask about thisAlongside is three co‑founders. Each of us brings a different specialty to the same job.
Our deepest roots are in disability services, and we work across the nonprofit sector in Indianapolis and the Midwest.
Autism support organizations, Medicaid waiver providers, advocacy networks, and direct support organizations.
Mentorship, education, job training, and career programs, often juggling program data for several funders at once.
Affordable housing providers, community land trusts, and neighborhood organizations with heavy compliance, case management, and reporting needs.
Health nonprofits and human services organizations handling sensitive data and HIPAA requirements without an IT department.
Grantmakers and advocacy groups managing donor relationships, grant portfolios, and public-facing technology with a small staff.
Not sure you fit? Ask us. We’ll tell you honestly.
A free 30-minute call about your organization, what you’re using now, what’s frustrating, and where you want to go. No pitch. We listen first.
We scope the work: a one-time review, a specific project, or an ongoing monthly arrangement. Clear scope, clear expectations, no surprises.
We get to work alongside your team, and we adjust as your organization and its needs change.
An IT support company fixes what’s broken. A vendor sells you something. We help you think clearly about technology before you spend a dollar. We sit on your side of the table, have no financial stake in what you choose, and stay involved until the decision pays off.
Yes, and smaller organizations often benefit most. A single project engagement is a good place to start, with no ongoing commitment. We can also help you build the technology request into a grant proposal. The first conversation is always free.
A good first step is a technology review. We look at your current tools, systems, and spending, find the most important gaps, and give you a clear, prioritized plan. It’s a low-commitment way to see where you stand and how we work together.
We’re based in Indianapolis and like to work in person with organizations here and across Indiana. Advisory work also suits remote collaboration, and we work with organizations across the Midwest. If you’re unsure whether location matters, ask us.
Yes. “Something isn’t working, but we’re not sure what” is a fine place to start. A discovery call is a chance to talk through what’s happening and work out together where the pressure is. No agenda needed.
Tell us a little about your organization, or book a free 30-minute discovery call. No agenda needed. Come as you are and we’ll work out together where we can help.
