Tech Budgets That Give Back: How IT Can Fund Community Change

This episode explores how Purpose in Expenses (PIE) turns everyday technology spending into steady funding for nonprofits without increasing costs. Founder Jamie shares his origin story, brokering phone and internet services to fund an 8-year bike trip that evolved into a model for charity funding. CTO Daniel explains how his IT background and a new automated portal removed onboarding friction so even small businesses can participate. They discuss client case studies (Techstars, Dr. Bronner’s, a home builder) and the morale, recruitment, and branding benefits when IT procurement becomes purposeful.
