Our values
Justice
Redistribute access to technology.
Impact Works is as much a political act as it is a business. We put powerful technology in the hands of people and communities the market leaves behind. We refuse work that makes inequality worse.
Quality
Excellence on your terms.
Good work comes from paying attention: understanding what you’re working with, who you’re doing it for, and why. We aim for work that’s a pleasure to use and affordable to run and maintain.
Community
We’re part of something bigger.
We’re part of the community we serve, and our customers are our partners. We put the people doing the work first and share what we build so others can use it and keep it going.
