Technology also transforms lives. Since 2024, AvantIT has dedicated part of its expertise every year to helping organisations create a greater impact through digital transformation. Explore Our Impact View Impact Reports Our Commitment ## We reinvest part of our knowledge back into society At AvantIT, we believe technology should do more than help organisations grow. It should improve lives, strengthen communities and empower organisations that make a difference. This is not a campaign — it is part of who we are. ### Pro Bono Technology We build and maintain digital platforms for non-profits at no cost, giving mission-driven teams enterprise-grade technology they could not otherwise access. ### Digital Inclusion We design accessible, WCAG-compliant experiences so that every member, patient and citizen can participate — regardless of ability or device. ### Knowledge Sharing We transfer skills, document our work and train internal teams, leaving each organisation more capable and autonomous than we found it. ### Long-Term Partnerships We stay. Our commitment is measured in years, not deliverables — evolving each platform as the organisation and its community grow. Featured Partnership Flagship Project Ongoing partnership · Since 2024 ## Crohn & Colite Portugal The Crohn/Colite Portugal Association is a non-profit dedicated to supporting patients living with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, improving their quality of life.

Across the four Fridays of August, four participants walk, ride and run the 540 virtual kilometres from Matosinhos to Loulé — every km logged on public Strava profiles, verifiable by anyone. Donations go directly to the Association, never through the promoting companies, and AvantIT reinforces the goal with its own €500 donation. Each edition, the cause is chosen by a different member of the team; AvantIT built and maintains the campaign platform. Donations go directly to Associação Crohn/Colite Portugal [Visit website — cadakmconta.pt](https://www.cadakmconta.pt) Impact Timeline ## A partnership that keeps evolving Every year, the AvantIT Impact initiative deepens its work with the organisations it supports. - 2024 ### Beginning of the partnership Public website launched - Member Portal designed - Foundations of a long-term partnership - 2025 ### Continuous evolution Ongoing technical support - New improvements shipped - Content management & updates - 2026 ### Building the future Website redesign - Improved accessibility - Modern digital experience - Cada Km Conta: 540 km from Matosinhos to Loulé for the Association Impact Metrics ## Measuring the difference we make Transparency matters.

Expected Jan 2027 Coming Soon Why Technology Matters ## Great technology should not be a privilege of large enterprises Charities, patient associations and non-profit organisations deserve access to the same quality of technology as the biggest companies in the world. When a small organisation is given the right digital tools, everything changes — the people it serves feel it first. ### Accessibility Inclusive, WCAG-compliant platforms everyone can use. ### Communication Clearer, faster ways to reach members and communities. ### Operational efficiency Automating the manual so teams focus on their mission. ### Member engagement Self-service experiences that people actually want to use. ### Long-term sustainability Lower costs and owned infrastructure that lasts. ### Trust Secure, transparent handling of sensitive data. ### Digital inclusion Bringing every member into the digital world. Future Commitments ## Where the AvantIT Impact initiative is heading A permanent initiative needs a permanent roadmap. These are the commitments we are building towards. - Supporting more non-profit organisations. - Offering annual pro bono consulting hours. - Providing selected AvantIT products free of charge to NGOs. - Promoting digital literacy. - Encouraging employee volunteering. - Publishing a transparent Impact Report every year. - Measuring social impact over time. ## Let’s Build Technology That Matters If your organisation is making a positive difference and technology can help amplify your mission, we’d love to work with you.
