who are we?
The Daring is a technology strategy and services provider dedicated to helping nonprofits manage their growth with innovative solutions.
The team is assembled from technology and business veterans instrumental in designing and delivering products that you use every day. The approach we used when designing for massive business and consumer user audiences is applied to your projects with the same level of expertise and attention to detail.
Our focus—what we like to refer to as a North Star—is the end-user, whether a constituent, staff, donor, volunteer, executive director, or board member. When you and your stakeholders aren’t battling technology, the important work of your mission can take center stage.

He’s a proud dad of two boys, news junkie, fan of the Seattle Seahawks and Kraken (the perfect representation of his Canadian roots and US home), and a passionate coffee consumer.
What to Expect
We’re successful when your organization thinks about technology less. Every ounce of effort goes into making the technology work for you without stress so you can focus your expertise on what really matters—your organization and the mission it serves.
- Quality: A commitment to quality and user-experience means we stand behind our work. You can count on ongoing support and maintenance.
- Growth mindset: Services are designed with your organization’s future in mind. We’ll help you build your internal IT capabilities over time, training you along the way so we can pass the baton to you when you’re ready. Nothing would thrill us more.
- Complexity simplified: Because technology can be complicated doesn't mean it has to be difficult to use. For us, innovation means making that complexity disappear.
- Business justification: There's no technology just for technology's sake in our playbook. We will help you explore technology solutions using clear business language that helps you make confident decisions.
