About CharitySoft

Two experienced IT professionals applying AI to give charities enterprise-level solutions

Why We Do This

CharitySoft started from a simple realization: AI has changed everything about software development, and charities should benefit from that revolution.

We've spent our careers building enterprise software for big companies with big budgets. We've seen those companies spend months and millions on solutions that nonprofits desperately need but can't access. Traditional software development is slow and expensive—out of reach for most charities.

But AI changes that equation completely.

With modern AI tools, experienced technologists like us can deliver in weeks what used to take teams of developers months to build. The technology that was once only accessible to Fortune 500 companies is now within reach for nonprofits—if you have the right expertise to harness it.

That's what CharitySoft does: we apply AI to deliver enterprise-quality solutions at nonprofit speed and nonprofit cost.

We're nonprofit ourselves. With AI handling the heavy lifting—code generation, integration work, testing—we can accomplish what would normally require a full development team. What used to take 6 months now takes 3-4 weeks.

Sometimes we can build exactly what you need. Sometimes a project is too big and we'll help connect you with our network or find the right vendor. But if your challenge fits our capacity, we can deliver solutions you probably thought were out of reach.

Over the past year, we've helped food banks feed more families, rescue organizations save more animals, mentoring programs reach more kids, and scholarship funds support more students—all powered by AI-accelerated development.

That's why we do this.

What Drives Us

💙

Honest Service

If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you. If there's a cheaper or better solution than building custom software, we'll recommend it. Your success matters more than our revenue.

🤝

True Partnership

We're not vendors who disappear after delivery. We stick around to make sure solutions actually work in your real-world environment, and we're always available when you have questions.

⚖️

No Strings Attached

You own everything we build. Need to hire someone else later? You have all the code and documentation. No lock-in, no dependency.

🌱

Sustainability

We build solutions that last and grow with you. Clean code, good documentation, training for your team—everything you need to succeed long after we're gone.

❤️

Heart

We genuinely care about the work charities do. When a food bank serves more families or a scholarship fund supports more students, we feel that. It's why we're here.

How We Work With You

We Start With Listening

Before we build anything, we need to understand your organization, your challenges, and your goals. What's working? What's frustrating? What would success look like? We spend real time learning your world.

We Show You Options

Sometimes you need custom software. Sometimes an existing tool just needs configuration. Sometimes a simple process change solves the problem. We'll be honest about what we think is the best path forward.

We Build Collaboratively

You'll see working software early and often—not months later. We check in regularly, adjust based on your feedback, and make sure we're on the right track before investing heavily.

We Teach As We Go

We don't want you dependent on us. Throughout the project, we explain our thinking, document our decisions, and train your team so you understand how everything works.

We Stick Around

After launch, we're here for questions, adjustments, and support. Many of our clients keep working with us as their needs evolve, but that's always your choice—never an obligation.

Want to Work Together?

We'd love to learn about your organization and see if we might be a good fit.
