We tackle nonprofit technology.
So you don’t have to.

Meet our founders

We get where you are coming from.

Our team has many years working on the nonprofit side of things. We’ve been in your shoes and worked with consultants who didn’t get it and tried to give us a one size fits all solution.

The industry status quo was outdated, so we decided to change that.

Experienced.

We use the technology and processes we promote.

Tailored solutions.

We customize solutions to each client. None of this one size fits all business.

Reachable.

We are just a phone call or email away, and want to see your organization thrive.

It’s all part of our mission.

To help nonprofit organizations fulfill their goals by empowering staff to maximize the power of their technologies.

We started Tackle for you.

………

Our founders started Tackle with a vision to see nonprofits thrive. We want to be an extension of your team. We want our team to feel like part of your team. We want to build a trust and a relationship with you so you can count on us to help you meet your goals. It’s important to us, because it’s important to you.

Ryan Granzow

FOUNDER, STRATEGY

Nonprofits and technology are in my DNA. Working as a staffer at National Brain Tumor Society and consultant at three prior national-level nonprofit consulting firms has given me unique perspectives on what nonprofits need. At Tackle, I combine our nonprofit experience and technical skills to help nonprofits do things right.

Robert Stowe

FOUNDER, OPERATIONS

Nonprofits are important to me personally and professionally. Drawing from more than 20 years’ experience with museums, education programs, and health organizations, I ensure we have the right resources and tools to deliver top-quality services.

Our team.
