About Beaconfire
June 24th, 2005 by adminBeaconfire Consulting is dedicated to helping nonprofits accomplish their missions by using technology more effectively. We design and develop websites, conduct online marketing and fundraising campaigns, and provide strategic advice on a range of technology-related topics, including technology planning and software evaluation.
Our History
We’ve provided these services to nonprofits since 1995, first as the nonprofit practice of NMP, and then as AppNet and Commerce One Global Consulting Services. In 2001 a group of colleagues in Commerce One’s nonprofit consulting practice discussed their vision for a new company. Although their views, experiences and talents were diverse, they shared one common, powerful idea: that there was a real need in the nonprofit community for expert, objective, results-oriented technology consulting, and that no company on the scene was committed to serving that need.
In October, 2001, Beaconfire Consulting was formed when the nonprofit consulting services practice of Commerce One was spun off. Wholly independent, separately capitalized and privately held, the new company combined outstanding technological resources with the guiding vision, passion and purpose of the new owners.
Today our clients include a wide range of nonprofit, non-governmental organizations, including charities, foundations and member-based groups. Our business has been, and remains, focused on helping our clients make a difference in their cause through the smart use of technology.
BeaconfireWire
We’ve published the BeaconfireWire as an email newsletter since January 2003. We’ll continue to send out updates via email, but we’ve launched the BeaconfireWire blog to connect with our clients, colleagues and others in the nonprofit technology field on a more timely basis.
