NHBSR’s Just One Thing stories have uncovered examples in New Hampshire too!
Tom Strickland wanted to find a way to help nonprofits in his community,
but with a small company,
he had to find a way to do it without undermining the productivity of his limited staff.
Sequoya Technologies Group created Sequoya Seeds, a program allowing paying customers to select a nonprofit in the Monadnock region to receive technical services equal to 5 percent of the customer’s bill.
The impact has been significant, for several Monadnock area nonprofits and
Sequoya.
The nonprofits have been able to increase their technological capabilities and/or reduce operating expenses.
The program automatically sizes itself to the revenue stream, never outpacing
capability and has resulted in new business for Sequoya.
