Skills given
where they're needed.
Small businesses and non-profits deserve the same quality of digital work as the companies that can afford it. Every year we donate a chunk of our capacity to community organizations across BC, Alberta, and Yukon. Real websites, real branding, real support.
Giving back, both ways.
Giving back doesn't only mean non-profits. It means helping a new business in town get their first website live. It means a community hall finally getting hosting that doesn't break. It means showing up for the people building something good, whether they have a budget or not.
Why we do this.
North Star IT was built on a simple idea. Great technology shouldn't only belong to enterprises with deep budgets. It should also belong to the people running food banks, search and rescue teams, youth programs, and community halls.
So every year we set aside a portion of our schedule for pro-bono work. Full website builds, hosting, brand identity, ongoing technical support. No invoice. The mission has to fit, and the rest is on us.
Full builds, not favours.
The non-profits we work with get the same process, design quality, and technology stack as our paying clients. Nothing gets cut to save time.
Long-term support.
We don't disappear after launch. Hosting, security updates, and small content changes stay included for as long as the organization needs them.
Local first.
Priority goes to organizations serving communities in BC, Alberta, and Yukon. These are the places we live and work, and the places NRTHSTR-V1 actually drives.

Run a non-profit?
If your organization serves a community in BC, Alberta, or Yukon and needs a website or some digital help, we'd love to hear from you. We take on a limited number of pro-bono builds each year, so the sooner you reach out the better.
