Doing Good in Your Neighborhood

Last year I wrote a post about SolutionSet’s local, non-profit work.  A number of the sites have been launched since then, and we’ve done some more great work for some deserving organizations.

We’ve had a long tradition (well, as long as the company as the company is old, that is) of working on pro-bono projects or discounted projects.   As the person responsible for the company and it’s overall financial health, I’ve often been asked why we do so.

  • It feels good to do good - supporting worthy projects and causes creates a better work environment for all involved as they can feel like they are contributing
  • Some of our most creative work comes out of these projects as they are not mainstream, corporate work
  • If we can make things work for non-profits with little technical staff and shoestring budgets, think of what we can do for our corporate clients
  • We meet great people and hopefully help them do their jobs.  Those people tend to talk to other people and refer us - the only way we do business development
  • We live in the community and making it a better place is better for us

So with that being said, here are some of the projects that we have worked on over the past 3-4 years that have been pro-bono in full or part.  We appreciate the trust that each of these organizations has placed in us.
