What Clients Are Saying
Jackson River's team knows technology, but they also know non-profits. That makes them perfect partners. In my experience, there is nothing they can't do, and I honestly don't know what I would do without them.

Cause
We're not just consultants, we're concerned citizens.
At Jackson River, we know that the right strategy can be the tipping point in fulfilling your organization’s mission and vision. We want to make sure worthy organizations succeed, and as good world citizens, pro-bono work is part of the way we run our company. Each year, Jackson River chooses a cause close to our heart and donates our consulting and technology services to an organization working in that issue. It’s all part of working for the public good. If you’re interested in our pro-bono services, drop us a line.
This Year’s Cause: Water
More than any other nutrient, humans need water to survive. Proper hydration allows the body to function at its highest possible level, with improved energy, strength and mental acuity. It also increases immunity to illness and helps to flush junk out of your system.
In the US, we take clean water for granted, but it’s not a given in many parts of the world, and that has severe repercussions. Unsanitary water is not only a health risk, but also causes undue hardship, causing schools to deny education to children—particularly girls—and forcing people to spend large portions of their time simply gathering safe water. Reduced crops, sick workforces, and overwhelmed healthcare systems end up depressing already troubled economies.
To help ensure safe and sanitary water access for people all over the world, Jackson River teamed up with TapDC http://www.tapdc.org/.
TapDC runs World Water Week in Washington, DC. Between March 22-28, restaurant patrons pay $1 or more for tap water, with all proceeds directly supporting UNICEF’s clean water programs. UNICEF works in more than 90 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities, and to promote safe hygiene practices. Funds collected will be allocated to the countries and areas UNICEF has identified as most in need. Last year’s Tap Project donations funded water and sanitation programs in Belize, Cote d’Ivoire, Iraq and Nicaragua.
