Our Story
Leveraging technology to improve nonprofit organizations as they work to change the world.
Who We Are
Build Consulting was created to help nonprofits like yours reach their goals. We are inspired by nonprofits who are driven to transform themselves and, ultimately, the world.
We have a passion for leveraging data and technology to improve nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit technology projects fail at a rate of over 50%. Build Consulting is on a mission to change that. We view technology change as organizational change.
Build Consulting has extensive experience transforming nonprofit organizations. We marry deep data and information technology experience with an on-the-ground knowledge of the daily realities of life at a nonprofit.
Because of our experience, we understand your unique challenges… and can ground your organization in what is needed to get the most from your investments.
