Accelerating Social Change

AidKit brings human-centered design and software expertise to support nonprofits and government agencies in delivering critical aid and assistance to those in need.

AidKit is proud to be a Certified B Corporation™

We're part of a global movement of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. This certification reflects our commitment to stakeholder accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement in how we serve our partners and the people who rely on our systems.

Why We Built AidKit

Before AidKit, we founded the Left Behind Workers Fund—a pandemic relief program that delivered millions in direct aid to immigrant workers in Colorado.

We needed a system to safely and effectively reach these workers in their preferred languages and help them overcome the many barriers they faced in accessing support. It quickly became clear that existing technology solutions were woefully inadequate, so we built our own platform.

AidKit was designed to reach systematically excluded communities with ease and dignity while ensuring their sensitive data stays safe and protected. Today, AidKit is the trusted engine that nonprofits and governments use to operate aid and public benefit programs at scale.

A Mission That Moves Us

From our engineers to our program leads, everyone here is driven by the same goal: making systems work better for people.

“For the FP&A team, it’s not just about accuracy - it’s about making sure every dollar serves people with dignity. Their work reflects the same heart, ethics, and attention to detail that defines everything we do at AidKit.”

Mark Teepe
Accounting Manager

"Every day is exciting working at the intersection of technology and social impact at AidKit. It’s inspiring to see how each member of the AidKit team is so motivated to advance our company mission in their own unique way. I love that we have a collaborative culture that empowers everyone to both teach and learn from the diverse experiences of their teammates."

Justin Cajayon
VP of Engineering

"I don’t come from a traditional social benefits background, but AidKit welcomed me for the perspective I bring. Many of my colleagues also come from diverse fields—each of us contributing unique expertise. We’re like-minded in our values, and that diversity is exactly what allows AidKit to stay innovative and continue driving fresh, meaningful change in the social benefits space."

Rui Wu
Senior Program Manager

"I’m incredibly grateful to work at a purpose-driven organization like AidKit, alongside a team grounded in empathy and operational excellence. As a program manager, I’m continually inspired by how deeply we listen to partners, adapt our tools to meet real-world needs, and deliver aid with dignity."

Jamie Hackbarth
Senior Program Manager

"It's rare to find a tech company that is truly operating according to a moral compass. At AidKit, people are obsessed with protecting the personal information of program applicants and participants, and every single element of our product innovation centers end users. We build ethically, and our team really reflects this shared value of people over profit."

Our Objective

Advanced technology meets personalized, human-centered approaches.

Support those left behind

We believe it's important to empower our partners to serve everyone who needs help, particularly those often left behind due to a lack of digital access. Our innovative technology ensures no one is left out.

Work with the community

Community-based organizations (CBOs) know their communities best. We help networks of CBOs deliver community-wide programs on one unified platform, amplifying their impact.

Meet users where they are

Technology is powerful, but there is no replacement for human interaction. We design accessible tools to help governments and nonprofit organizations meet their community where they are.

Keep data private and secure

Protecting the data of end users is of the utmost importance, and we take that responsibility seriously. We insulate program administrators from the legal challenges of handling sensitive data.
