Our Mission
Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably. We serve as ally, coach, strategist, mentor and facilitator to those trying to make more impactful use of information technology in their social change efforts.

A Little Listening in Long Beach

long beach,caOn May 7th, we flew to Long Beach to meet with the Building Healthy Communities of The California Endowment. We were introduced to the BHC Hub Staff Rene and Ana, Program Manager Jenny, and the communications committee Chris, Amelia and Sonya. Wow, what an amazing group of people!

We started the conversation about how they see technology supporting the work of the folks in Long Beach. We learned heaps about what they are doing to build a healthier community, and their goal to redefine what “health” means to them.

We look forward to supporting the empowering work they are already doing. Many thanks for the warm welcome!
