2016 was a big year for thedatabank and for our clients! Our team grew and our clients used their Databank technology to build capacity, raise funds, influence public policy, and inspire social good! We moved away from packaged database products to focus on custom, capacity building solutions that support each organization’s unique strategic technology needs. We pivoted our company’s mission to help organizations build technology into their overall strategy, and we had a lot of fun doing it. Here’s a look back at our year.
