Approach
Leveraging Uptake’s people, technology and expertise to help organizations use data to change the world
We believe in a world that always works, for everyone
A world where organizations of all types and sizes can leverage the power of data to make an impact. Uptake.org isn’t a grantmaker; we develop data-driven technology solutions designed to drive change. We create applications that nonprofits, social enterprises, government agencies, and foundations use to increase efficiency and take action.
