Custom Software for Non-profits
Most of our software work moves aging Microsoft Access databases and spreadsheet sprawl onto modern cloud systems. Your team keeps the workflow it already knows while we swap out what sits underneath. One overworked admin keeps track of donors and grants, plus the volunteer schedule.
Does Imagi-Tech do Custom Software for community organizations?
Yes. Imagi-Tech provides custom software development to community organizations across ten Ohio markets, from our office in Marietta, Ohio. We scope and quote each project after a free audit. The problem it addresses: one overworked admin keeps track of donors and grants, plus the volunteer schedule.
Sound familiar?
Where community organizations usually get stuck
- The real system is a spreadsheet emailed around with numbers in the filename
- Two people have to re-key the same order into two places
- Reporting means someone stays late with a pivot table
- The software you bought does 40% of the job and blocks the other 60%

The systems we end up in
Most community organizations run some version of these four. Our Custom Software work usually starts with getting them to share data.
Donor records and giving history
Grant deliverables and reporting
Volunteer scheduling and hours
Program outcomes and case notes
What changes
- Year-end letters that go out without a fire drill
- Grant reports built straight from the records
- Volunteer hours logged once and counted everywhere
How we work
Custom Software, cut into four pieces
Review
We sit with the people doing the work and write down how the job runs from one day to the next.
Blueprint
You get diagrams, user cases and a written scope to approve before anyone writes code, so month three holds no surprises.
Prototype
At every checkpoint you click through a working version, and we catch wrong turns early while they cost little.
Launch and support
We migrate your data and train your staff, then stay on for support. The system belongs to you, documentation included.
Proof
Work like this, written up
Each write-up explains what the client was up against and how our fix turned out.
Parkersburg-Marietta Building & Construction Trades Council
A single-page site became a member portal. Members can pay dues by ACH and submit documents, and the public gets an events calendar and resources for joining a trade.
1 to many pages: from a single-page site to a full member portal
Website RedesignThe Betsey Mills Club
A community club over a century old had a static site and no way to take payments online. We rebuilt it responsive, with online payment for classes, memberships, custom amounts, and donations.
100+ yrs of community history the site had to carry

Grimm ran day-to-day operations on spreadsheets until we built them an ERP from scratch. The company has quadrupled in size since, on the same system.

Questions we get asked
About Custom Software for Non-profits
How long does a custom software project take?
It depends on scope. Once the blueprint is done, you get a timeline in writing. The order of work stays the same on every project: we review how you work, you approve a blueprint and click through prototypes, and then we launch and support it.
Do we own the software when it is finished?
Yes. The source code, the data, the documentation and every login belong to you, and we keep none of it back to hang on to you as a client.
What if our requirements change halfway through?
The prototype checkpoints handle that. You click through a working version at each one, so we catch a wrong turn early, while it costs little to fix.
Can it work with the systems we already have?
Usually, yes. Most of our projects hook into something you already run, such as an accounting package, a carrier portal or a machine on the shop floor, and we replace only the parts that need replacing.
Where does Imagi-Tech work?
We work out of 200 Putnam St, Suite 201, Marietta, Ohio, and cover ten markets across Ohio. Most work happens remotely because it is faster, and we schedule on-site time when hands on hardware will help.
How does an Imagi-Tech custom software development project start?
With a free audit. We look at what you run now and give you a plain-language read on what is solid and what is one bad morning away from trouble. Scope and price come after that.
What if the person who built our current setup has left?
That is the normal case, and we handle it often. We document what you have from the outside, based on what it does, and the people who use it every day are usually the best source.
Do you work with community organizations?
Yes. Community organizations across Ohio are a big part of our client list. The process stays the same whatever the sector: an audit, a written scope you approve, prototype checkpoints where they fit, and then launch and support.
