ProofPact

We're living in such a fast-moving, fast-paced world. We almost can't keep up at times for many reasons. If we let it in, technology has much to teach and connect us. It will help us learn, grow, and develop. But, only if we connect as humans with it. The Human Stack does just that, it brings the human elements back to technology, which is sooo needed!

CEO + Founder

I see this framework as very different. It is simple (in its complexity) and practical. It gives nonprofits more capacity. It helps them break the huge barrier of keeping up with technology.

You might just be a digital voluntold. They lack a formal tech background. But, digital voluntolds have a crucial role. They manage their organization's technology systems, tools, and data. The tasks of a digital voluntold include many things. They range from managing databases to setting up systems. They also involve reviewing data and fixing technical issues. These tasks can vary a lot based on the size and resources of the nonprofit.
