We can empower others to do more through technology.
We want to provide the Top 25 American Express Members Projects (and their recommended fulfillment organizations) with custom software-as-a-service to ensure that their projects will not only be implemented, but sustained—for years to come. Without technology it’s hard for people and organizations to do the things they want to do on a scale they want to do it. Technology improves long-term sustainability. Custom software delivers real-time intelligence, leading to better visibility across the organization, and faster decision-making. The problem is charities often have small technology budgets. So they’re left with inefficient paper-based processes and spreadsheets to solve life-sized problems. That makes it difficult to solve those problems effectively.

The Top 25 Members Projects have a huge opportunity to make a broad, positive impact in our world—but only if their impact can scale exponentially. Without technological capacity, it’s hard to turn ideas into large-scale impact that lasts. Few ideas create change that extends beyond what a few people can achieve alone. Customized software increases leverage, but barriers to access are high. Imagine what would happen if we squashed those barriers to magnify the impact of ALL 25 Members Projects?
