Social Impact Program

We combine a passion for social change with real-life experience in technology, design, delivery and deployment to help address the world's most pressing challenges.

How it works

We offer three engagement options to our social Impact clients:

  • Commercial Engagement – We place our renowned Agile development teams in the service of mission-driven organizations. In some cases, we are able to offer discounts below our commercial rates.
  • Pro bono - Assistance is offered each year to a select number of organizations with compelling ideas to advance their mission via technology, but who lack the resources to develop them.
  • Humanitarian Software program - This innovative program is a new pro bono model through which we provide on-going contribution to some of the world's most impactful humanitarian open source software projects.
