Help shape the future of trust and belonging in nonprofits.
We’re building Semora Commons—a civic-tech intelligence blueprint that will help small nonprofit teams see, measure, and strengthen belonging — the invisible force that keeps people showing up.
Your input will shape what comes next.

A Fragile Moment for Connection
Across the nonprofit world, participation is shrinking — and trust is fraying.
Only 42% of donors give again the next year.
(Fundraising Effectiveness Project, 2024 Q1 Report)
57% of Americans still trust nonprofits — but that trust is fragile.
(Independent Sector, Trust in Civil Society Report 2025)
Fewer than 1 in 10 nonprofits use their data strategically.
(NTEN, 2023 Nonprofit Technology Report)
What would it take for cause-based organizations to understand their communities as deeply as big brands understand their markets...
...but to use that insight to build trust, not profit?
We haven’t built it yet — but we’re designing the blueprint for a civic intelligence network that helps nonprofits listen deeply, learn from what they hear, and strengthen the belonging that keeps people showing up.
Semora Commons exists to change that — creating ethical intelligence for community:
a new way for organizations to listen differently, see what resonates, and strengthen it together.
People haven’t stopped caring — they’ve stopped feeling connected.
Nonprofits were built to bring people together. But without tools to understand trust and belonging, even the best missions lose momentum. When people stop feeling seen in the work, they stop showing up.
That’s where the real opportunity begin.
