Nonprofit

Plan and implement your projects with a digital partner acknowledging your unique industry needs and requirements.

Five Jars is more than a developer. We are your partner and as such, we understand your pain points. Nonprofit organisations have unique requirements and are often under greater scrutiny from regulatory bodies. Five Jars knows that and creates solutions which by design foster transparency and offer an extensive range of functionalities specifically tailored to your needs.

For a long time, nonprofit organisations weren’t regarded as innovative organisations. While many nonprofits indeed were unorganized, not efficient and overstaffed, this image is absolutely wrong in today’s world. Five Jars knows how hard nonprofit organisations have to fight to receive legitimacy. We also know how easy it is to lose the gained trust from donors and volunteers. That is why we build solutions which by design build trust, increase the positive image and help you to create the impact you aim at.

Here at Five Jars, we work in an agile and flexible way to guarantee the fulfillment of your objectives in an efficient manner. We assemble multidisciplinary teams to offer you the entire know-how which you need to succeed. Every project we do is done in regard to future capabilities such as process automation or advanced analytics possibilities. By doing this, we ensure that once a new feature becomes necessary, it can be cost-efficiently added without creating many legacy issues.

Budgeting is vital

Nonprofits very frequently rely on donations and financial support from governments or foundations. Five Jars understands through its extensive collaboration with nonprofits that budgeting is a very sensitive and vital challenge which nonprofits face every single day. As there are limits to revenue increases, project budgets are more heavily constrained. That is why we emphasize the importance of the initial project planning as we thoroughly inform you about all necessary costs prior to your project. We guarantee to not overrun any agreed upon budget as we believe in fairness and transparency.

  

100% within budget
Our projects never overrun any budget - to give you absolute cost control.
Transparency as our mission
Five Jars believes in transparency - so billing will never be a negative surprise for you.
Constant feedback loops
We guarantee cost-efficiency by keeping you informed and react early if changes become necessary.
