2008
Founded. Built for nonprofits from day one. Headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Technology fornonprofit work.
StratusLIVE was founded in 2008 to build technology for nonprofits, not merely market it to them. Most of our team comes from nonprofit work. The platform is what we wished we'd had.
Our story
Nearly two decades of one conviction.
StratusLIVE began with the belief that technology should drive measurable change for organizations doing social good. In 2008 that meant bringing enterprise-grade CRM to nonprofits that had been asked to make do with tools built for sales pipelines, not donor relationships. It grew into a platform family trusted by United Ways, federated networks, health funds, and national causes.
Today, that conviction shapes the Ignite Active Intelligence Platform for a moment when nonprofit missions are growing faster than nonprofit teams.
What has not changed: we build for nonprofit work, we answer the phone, and we treat your donors' trust as the asset it is.

Core values
Trust is the standard
High standards in what we build and in the service behind it. Nonprofits trade in trust; so do we.
Useful on an ordinary Tuesday
We build technology that earns its place on an ordinary Tuesday, not just in a demo.
The claims, the pricing, the partnership
Honesty, transparency, and accountability in everything: the product claims, the pricing, the partnership.
