Digitally mature nonprofits are 4x more likely to achieve their mission goals.

But most organizations still don’t have a documented tech roadmap—so technology decisions stay reactive, fragmented, and hard to fund.

Our Tech Strategy Blueprint gives you a clear, board-ready plan, and our retainer helps you execute it with a steady decision-making rhythm.

Why Nonprofits Partner With Us

1

Strategy Before Solutions.

We start every engagement with a clear, actionable plan—whether you join our Blueprint program or our innovation-first retainer partnership. You’ll never waste time or money on tech that doesn’t fit your mission.

2

Proactive, Not Reactive

We anticipate challenges and opportunities so you can lead, not just keep up. Our approach keeps you ahead of tech trends, funding shifts, and sector changes—so you’re always ready for what’s next.

3

Ethical Innovation & AI Guidance

We help you navigate the promise and pitfalls of new technology—including AI—so you can innovate responsibly and confidently.

5

Commitment to the Long Haul

Transformational change takes time. We’re here for the journey—helping you set priorities, measure progress, and adjust as you grow, so you can achieve sustainable, mission-driven results.

Mission-Driven, Executive-Focused

Everything we do is rooted in your nonprofit’s purpose and led at the executive level. We understand the realities of board governance, fundraising, and stakeholder management, and we tailor our support to your unique context.

"It is rare to find someone that genuinely cares about our team, our projects, and our clients. Our success is their mission!" Coat Rack communicates - not just at a surface level, but with real and deep engagement that keeps us informed of their work, and enhances our performance through their knowledge sharing. Working with many vendors over the years, it's rare to find a partner who genuinely cares about our team, our projects, and our clients. If you want a vendor that you hand a project to and walk away, you will be impressed with Coat Rack. However, If you want a vendor who collaborates with you and prioritizes teamwork and communication, all while building well designed and thought-out projects, Coat Rack is the one. They will always be our vendor of choice and should be yours.
