I'd work on a free, secure set of tools for the IT needs of non-profit organizations. Hosted and LiveCD/appliance deployment options, and containing a full, truly usable stack for CRM, fundraising, event planning, and publishing.
There's interesting work going on in the problem space, (CiviCRM being the 500lb. gorilla) but no free turnkey solutions I know of. Some organizations literally have to beg to scrape up the money for a basic web hosting account, so monetization of the platform would be tough.
- Xichekolas 19y agoGoogle released something for non-profits today... http://www.google.com/nonprofits/ http://www.google.com/nonprofits/ Not sure if it does all they need, but ironic timing.
- rcoder 19y agoGoogle only provides the apps for free to 501(c)(3) organizations, not 501(c)(4) or PAC groups. Unfortunately, many of the groups doing (IMHO) the most interesting, progressive non-profit work aren't eligible for C3 status, since they do some amount of political lobbying and campaign work.
