The Developer Society (DEV) is the world’s first not-for-profit team of developers and campaigners run by and for the not-for-profit sector.
We're out to change the world (and have a little fun doing it)
It's great to see you
We at The Developer Society are a not-for-profit digital co-op dedicated to working with mission-driven organisations that strive to make the world a better place. Our primary focus is on designing and web digital projects that make a tangible difference in the lives of people in need. We offer a comprehensive range of digital solutions, including website development, data visualisation tools, branding and design, AI experimentation, ongoing support and maintenance, and more! Our work extends to collaborating with organisations such as Oxfam, Mind, and All Out, helping them to integrate systems, develop impactful campaigns, and create innovative solutions.
Over the years, we've developed a unique approach to balancing our commitment to impact for the groups we work with (and their often limited budgets and timescales). We have also created a great place for our team to invest their careers. Working in the third sector can be challenging, but we've found something special in our approach. While we're not perfect, we prioritise the work over the bottom line, which is less common than it should be.
Through our services, we aim to use technology to reach more people, support more causes, and ultimately have a greater impact on the world. We are committed to helping organisations change the world by offering our skills and knowledge to support their missions. By collaborating with us, NGOs and progressive groups can benefit from our innovative solutions, impactful campaigns, and the ability to reach and support more causes, ultimately contributing to positive change on a global scale.
The remarkable intersection of tech & heart
In today's digital world, there's a myriad of agencies that code. But how many can claim to code with a cause? Here, at Developer Society, we're not just any digital agency. We're a beacon, illuminating the path for charities and other not-for-profit groups with the power of technology.
At the core of what we do are the people we serve. While we leverage cutting-edge technology, we never lose sight of the human element. Our solutions are designed not just to be technologically advanced, but to be accessible, impactful, and meaningful to the individuals and communities our partner organisations support. We believe that the most powerful technology is that which enhances human connection, amplifies human efforts, and addresses real human needs. This human-centric approach guides every project we undertake, ensuring that our digital solutions truly serve the people they're intended to help.
Crafting digital stories, amplifying change
Every social impact group has a story, a mission, a dream. We see that. We believe in that. And we're here to amplify it. Like a skilled artist wielding a brush, we mould digital solutions that resonate, captivate, and most importantly, mobilise. We're not in the business of simply building websites or apps; we're in the transformative work of digital storytelling.
A co-op? Yes, and proudly so!
Okay, here's a curveball: We're a co-op. Now, before you skim past this jargon, let's demystify. A cooperative (co-op for short) means every team member here is an integral part of decision-making. There's no top-down, traditional hierarchy. There's no "boss says so" culture. Instead, there's collaboration, respect, and a shared vision. In essence, when you partner with us, you're not just getting a service - you're engaging with a collective that is committed to your cause and genuinely cares.
Why charities and other not-for-profits? Why Not!
In a sea of profit-driven ventures, charities and other not-for-profit groups are the lighthouses, guiding us to shores of empathy, compassion, and hope. And if these lighthouses need a bit of digital shine, who are we to deny? These organisations have the power to change narratives, to challenge the status quo, and to plant (& grow!) seeds of positive impact. Our role? To support their digital presence, helping them what they do so that they can have even more impact.
Join us on this remarkable journey
The digital realm is vast and offers many opportunities. With the right partner, navigating it becomes a rewarding adventure, not a daunting ordeal. If you're looking to make waves in the online world or even if you're someone who believes, like we do, that technology can be a force for good, then let's connect. After all, change isn't just about grand gestures; sometimes, it starts with a simple line of code.
