Non-profits
Custom Software for Non-profits
Simple solutions for complex problems. We specialize in moving aging Microsoft Access databases and spreadsheet sprawl to modern cloud systems, without breaking the workflow your team knows. Donors, grants, and volunteers held together by one overworked admin.
Sound familiar?
Where community organizations usually get stuck
- The real system is a spreadsheet emailed around with numbers in the filename
- Two people have to re-key the same order into two places
- Reporting means someone stays late with a pivot table
- The software you bought does 40% of the job and blocks the other 60%
What's included
What you actually get
- Business process review and documentation
- System blueprint with diagrams and user cases
- Prototype checkpoints before anything ships
- Cloud storage with desktop, tablet, and phone access
- Training and ongoing support
One system your team actually uses, on desktop, tablet, and phone.

The systems we end up in
Most community organizations are running some version of these four. Custom Software work usually starts by making them agree with each other.
Donor records and giving history
Grant deliverables and reporting
Volunteer scheduling and hours
Program outcomes and case notes
What changes
- Year-end letters that go out without a fire drill
- Grant reports assembled from records, not memory
- Volunteer hours logged once and counted everywhere
How we work
Custom Software, cut into four pieces
Review
We sit with the people doing the work and document how it really runs, not how the org chart says it runs.
Blueprint
Diagrams, user cases, and a scope you approve before a line of code exists. No surprises in month three.
Prototype
You click a working version at every checkpoint. Wrong turns get caught while they are still cheap.
Launch and support
Migration, training, and ongoing help. You own the system, the data, and the documentation.
