Founded by a small group of industry veterans from queer, trans, and BIPOC communities, Flourish grew out of a shared commitment to helping Seattle-area nonprofits and small businesses access affordable, high-quality technology and information security services.

We recognized that many mission-driven organizations face growing cybersecurity risks without the resources or specialized expertise available to larger institutions. Intergovernmental tensions, AI-enabled cybercrime and surveillance, and the increasing frequency and scale of public data breaches can create real and tangible harms for the communities our clients serve.

Flourish helps organizations navigate these risks by auditing, designing, building, testing, and maintaining durable and resilient infrastructure. Our goal is to give smaller organizations the systems, security, and operational capacity they need to protect their work and continue serving their communities.

Mission

Flourish provides accessible, high-quality governance, technology, cybersecurity, and operational services to mission-driven organizations and small businesses. We advance this mission through flexible pricing and service-delivery models that expand access to specialized expertise while creating stable, meaningful employment opportunities for people historically excluded from the workforce.

Vision

We envision a future in which mission-driven organizations and small businesses have equitable access to the expertise, infrastructure, and resources they need to thrive, regardless of their size, funding, or proximity to power. We seek to build a more resilient and community-rooted economy in which organizations are strengthened by secure, adaptable systems and workers have meaningful opportunities to participate in and shape the institutions that sustain their communities.
