ABOUT PERCOLATOR CONSULTING
Our team shares a passion for providing digital tools to progressive nonprofits that help them achieve their missions. We work to deeply understand the challenges our clients have and then combine strategy and technology to build lasting solutions to support the crucial work they do. We care about equity, human rights, and environmental stewardship, and partner with US and international clients focused on those issues. Our client list includes organizations like the Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund, Way to Win, First Nations Technology Council, and the Alliance for the Great Lakes.
We are a Salesforce partner but we don’t just do Salesforce implementations — our work also encompasses broad technology strategy and big implementations with partners that include web frameworks like Pyramid and Drupal. We are small but mighty: we take on complex Salesforce builds with custom code that other small shops shy away from, but always with an eye toward minimizing our clients’ technical debt. All of our staff come from nonprofit backgrounds. Like our clients, we’ve also been fundraisers, campaigners, program managers, and nonprofit administrators, and that domain expertise sets us apart.
The team at Percolator is tight-knit and growing, with ten staff and about half as many regular contractors, spread out across the US.
