Social impact
Technology for those who need it most.
Not every organization that needs great software can afford agency rates. We believe the nonprofits, schools, and foundations doing the hardest work in our communities deserve the same quality tools as well-funded startups.
What We Offer
20-30% reduced rates
On all our services — from Discovery to Development to Maintenance. Same team, same quality, same attention. Just a fairer price for organizations that put impact before profit.
Priority for meaningful projects
Projects that serve education, health, community development, environmental protection, or social inclusion get special consideration in our scheduling.
Pro bono projects
Once a year, we take on one project entirely free of charge for an organization doing exceptional work with limited resources. If you think that's you — reach out.
Who Qualifies
Eligible organizations
- Registered nonprofits (Hungarian: alapitvany, egyesulet, or equivalent in your country)
- Educational institutions — schools, universities, training programs
- Foundations — charitable organizations with registered status
- Social enterprises — organizations with a primary social mission (evaluated case by case)
What doesn't qualify
- Commercial arms or subsidiaries of nonprofits
- Political organizations or campaigns
- Organizations with substantial commercial revenue that could fund full-rate work
What we need from you
- Proof of nonprofit or educational registration
- A brief description of your mission and how technology will help
- The project must directly serve the organization's mission
Why We Do This
We're technologists. We spend our days building products for commercial clients — and we're proud of that work. But we also know that the organizations with the biggest impact on our communities often have the smallest budgets.
A school that wants a better enrollment system. A foundation that needs to track the families it serves. A local nonprofit that wants to reach more volunteers online. These aren't "lesser" projects — they're some of the most meaningful things software can do.
We'd rather do some of this work at a reduced rate than see it done badly — or not done at all.
