Ajah

Ajah is a social enterprise with offices in Montreal, Canada and Texas, that builds online tools and services for the nonprofit sector. Two decades of working with nonprofits on community and public-interest technology have shown us first-hand how much data exists in the nonprofit sector and how much potential exists for social impact to be created through better sharing and use of that data.

Our work is focused around applying our unique combination of expertise—in technology, governance, and the nonprofit sector—to solve systemic problems, build long-term solutions, and develop sustainable governance frameworks.

We work with governments, nonprofits, and funders to design strategies that increase the availability and utility of their data. Organizations we’ve helped include GivingTuesday Global, the Mastercard Foundation, Future Skills Centre, Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), Dans la rue, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and Philanthropic Foundations Canada. 

In 2013, Ajah’s founders created the nonprofit initiative, Powered by Data, to help the nonprofit sector increase its access to the data and information it needs through research, policy, and taking advantage of open government policies.
