Why Fund Open-Source Tech?
Your funding creates permanent infrastructure that keeps giving back—to hundreds of organizations, for years to come.
Nonprofits deserve better technology
Nonprofits waste 40% of their budget on outdated, overpriced software. They deserve better.
- Expensive SaaS tools that drain limited budgets
- Clunky interfaces designed for corporations, not missions
- Data silos that make reporting a nightmare
- Vendor lock-in with no exit strategy
