I work for a B-Corp consultancy that works exclusively with non-profits. We implement databases and the general motto is "help you take control of your data". My portfolio is currently all supportive housing organizations in San Francisco (though we are a Seattle firm). We work primarily on the Salesforce platform, thanks to their deep deep discounts and grants to non-profits.

I love my job, because it's a great blend between strategic work and technical work. Since our clients are often running shoe-string operations that have evolved instead of been designed, a lot of my job is convincing the client that they could change their process instead of paying me to build a feature.

I also get a lot of time to work on open source projects. There's a quickly growing open source community for non-profit software on the Salesforce platform.

I used to work as a professional union stagehand, programming and operating projection and media systems for musicals. I loved that job, but the work wasn't stable and the hours sucked.
