For over almost fifteen years, we’ve worked alongside civic institutions, nonprofits and foundations, community organizations and educational initiatives, and select small businesses.
Cornerstones of a just civil society, we help activist nonprofits like City Harvest feed hungry New Yorkers in need, and build robust, data-rich sites for NGOs like the United Nations to help its 200,000+ members smoothly navigate their local currencies and get answers about their pensions.
We have a long history of work focusing on cities and the built environment, working with architects, designers, planners, and other stewards of the cityscape. From virtual green spaces for city parks like Fort Tryon Park and Freshkills Park, to coalitions such as NACTO and the Global Designing Cities Initiative, to architectural and design practices like ASAP, we’re working to build better spaces and places, online and off.
We’re passionate about bringing big data to bear on strong social justice issues, like MacArthur’s Safety and Justice Challenge and the Misdemeanor Justice Project, at the same time we help places like Vera Institute of Justice and the Pinkerton Foundation engage activists on the ground.
We believe in the people power of unions like the Health Professionals and Allied Employees bringing tri-state nurses together, the National Young Farmers Coalition, and the American Federation of Musicians, the world’s largest union of musicians. These sites help members negotiate the labor world and ensure a fair living and fair care. Work with journalism projects such as Waging Nonviolence and political organizing platforms such as Working Families rounds out our work bringing power to the people.
We’re grounded in an appreciation for art and design, from the high profile of work of Julian Schnabel and Ric Burns of Steeplechase Films, to museums and galleries such as NYU’s Grey Gallery and the Skycraper Museum. We work hand in hand with performance groups as well, with online homes for the Concert Artists Guild, Highbridge Voices, and branding for the Center for Ballet and the Arts.
We’ve worked with universities and educational organizations across America, including Columbia, CUNY, The New School, NYU, Rutgers, and the University of Washington (UW), as well as in-progress work with Harvard University and Princeton University.
Bridging the gap between philanthropy-powered research, university labs, mental health outreach, and community service.
