Digital Aid Seattle


  • Mission

    Our vision is that society will one day equip altruistic organizations as well as we equip for-profit companies. Over the years, we’ve seen new technologies enable corporations to shape our culture, alter our ecosystem, and usher in new realities we never thought possible. Most non-profit organizations, on the other hand, are totally bereft of technical capability. While they focus on matters paramount to humanity-homelessness, civil rights, environmental sustainability, etc.-they are left to make change with few resources other than selfless dedication and sheer willpower. We will ensure mission-driven nonprofits receive the technical support they need to modernize. There already exists an army of folks working for positive change, we will give them the digital boost they need to exponentially increase their positive impact. We already have the heroes, Digital Aid Seattle is just giving them a tech super-power.

    About Us

    We do the stuff in our Mission Statement.

    • We hold ourselves and each other to high standards
      • Everyone here commits to working at least 4h/week for at least 6 months.
      • We vet our volunteers--only hiring 10% of those who apply.
      • Volunteers need to be endogenously-driven and self-managed--taking ownership over the impact they create.
    • Being on our team is highly rewarding
      • We create tangible impact in the world, serving as a force-multiplier of the work noble non-profits are already doing. This impact is far beyond what any one of us could have by volunteering for those beneficiary non-profits directly.
      • We are the confluence of best practices gleaned from many of our full-time & prior employers (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.).
      • For those earlier in their career, working with DAS is an opportunity to create a portfolio showcasing competency and impact earned in the face of real-world constraints and compromises.
      • We collectively create a community not only defined by its camaraderie and kindness, but one where we push ourselves and each other to grow, learn, and deliver.

    Cause Areas Include

    • Housing & Homelessness
    • Human Rights & Civil Liberties
    • Hunger, Food Security
    • Science & Technology
