Why is it Important for the Social Sector?

FOSS (Free and & Open-Source Software) enables access to libre, low-cost, and sustainable solutions and promotes transparency and collaboration. In particular, a whole class of modern “low code” and “no code” FOSS technologies require little technical capacity to maintain and customize to meet the specific needs of different organizations, which can be achieved at a fraction of the resources needed to build new technology from scratch. Many citizen sector organizations do not effectively leverage even publicly and freely available technology, thus we strive to create opportunities to learn about the works of others and create reusable playbooks for easy and practical technology adoption. We are committed to creating pathways and knowledge needed for the citizen sector to aid their ability to leverage technology for impact. As an alliance, we will work on removing the bottlenecks around leveraging technology which, today, have no reason to exist..
