We have a history of partnering with nonprofits of all shapes and sizes, from large global organizations to small teams making a big impact. While the missions and operations vary, expertly crafted digital solutions can greatly aid or serve as the foundation for all kinds of nonprofit work. We have experience designing and building nonprofit marketing websites and developing custom software and solutions that perform essential functionality, including powerful grantmaking applications, complex databases, data-driven reporting and interactive graphics.
Whatever the project is, we understand the significance and complexity that can accompany nonprofit work. There are often many stakeholders to include and a broad audience to consider, from board members and staff to donors, volunteers, and the general public. We also understand that the hard work is worth it. Whether you’re spreading awareness, offering special support and services, or advocating on behalf of others — your mission becomes our mission. It's our goal to come alongside your team and become a thought partner as we work together to help you solve problems and achieve success.
The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage is a nonprofit, multidisciplinary grantmaker dedicated to fostering a vibrant cultural community in Greater Philadelphia. We replaced their legacy grantmaking application with a custom grantmaking application that better reflects the Center’s brand, simplifies the overall process, and offers more refined features and control for administrators.
“Foster Made built us a powerful and intuitive system that has substantially streamlined our annual grant-making process. The new app saves our staff hours of the administrative work once required to maintain our legacy application system. Our applicants and proposal reviewers frequently offer unprompted positive feedback, noting that it's been one of the best experiences they've had while applying for funding or serving as a proposal reviewer.”

The team at Foster Made listens. They took the time to understand the values and priorities of our community and to translate them into design decisions large and small. Pair that with the pride they take in their workmanship, and you've got an agency that scholarly projects ought to have on their radar.
