Introduction

Who we are

DharmaTech is a nonprofit technology firm that is motivated, above all, by our mission to help bring about lasting social change.  To accomplish this, we provide affordable and appropriate technology solutions to nonprofits working to improve our communities in a variety of fields, including conservation, human rights, public safety, social services, and the arts.  We endeavor to work with nonprofits with strong leadership and strategic vision, on projects that will have a high-impact – both to the organization and the community, as well as to DharmaTech. 

We provide nonprofits nationwide with website and database development, custom software development, technology infrastructure, and strategic analysis and consulting.

Why we exist

Our decades of experience working in the fields of technology and nonprofits has taught us that nonprofits do not harness the full power of technology for one of two reasons:

1) An organization does not invest in the technology it needs to support its work and improve its effectiveness either because it is too costly, or because the staff lacks the expertise, skills, or vision; or

2) An organization spends more money than necessary on proprietary systems with extensive features that it may never use.  These proprietary systems often do not integrate with existing software and systems, do not fully address the nonprofit’s needs, are difficult to manage, and can overburden an organization’s limited staff and resources.

What we do

Rather than provide short-term, “band-aid” solutions to this problem, DharmaTech addresses the root cause.  We accomplish this by:

• Developing high impact technology solutions that are geared towards nonprofits, and that can be reused across many organizations.
• Building and implementing solutions that are affordable and appropriate, and that integrate key organizational processes (i.e., membership, fundraising, and event management) into one centralized system;
• Offering our team’s extensive skills and expertise in software engineering, system administration, grassroots organizing, nonprofit fundraising, and organizational development;
• Educating the staff and leadership of nonprofits and the community at large about the power of technology; and
• Providing nonprofits with advice on where to turn for additional resources (vendors, trainings, funding, etc.).
