Resilient Research Exchange (R2E) connects experienced technology leaders with organizations that need strategic guidance in data analytics, cloud strategy, and cybersecurity— at zero cost.

Nonprofits: Get Help
Tech Leaders: Volunteer

Why we do it

A great charity can change lives—yet still struggle to track donors, events, or outcomes.
A worthwhile cause might lack a website, secure cloud tools, or reliable analytics to prove its value.
R2E exists to change that. We connect experienced technology leaders with nonprofits that need strategic, pro bono help turning information into insight and purpose into measurable progress.

  • Over 90 % of U.S. nonprofits run on budgets under $1 million, yet most funding and technology support goes to larger organizations.
    R2E ensures these essential community missions aren’t left behind.

  • A few hours of expert guidance (dashboard setup, automation, cloud migration) can save small teams dozens of staff hours per month and unlock real-time insight for boards and donors.

  • Pro bono projects worth only a few thousand dollars can deliver tens of thousands in recovered value and measurable results — proof that small interventions create outsized change.

How it Works

Connecting Nonprofits with Senior Technology Advisors — Simply and Securely

R2E was built to make pro bono technology consulting straightforward.
We vet every nonprofit and every volunteer, then create time-bounded, high-impact engagements that deliver measurable results — without endless meetings or red tape.

  • Nonprofits submit a short application describing their technology challenge — from donor analytics to board dashboards or cybersecurity reviews.
    Each organization is verified through the IRS and GuideStar to ensure legitimacy and mission alignment.

    Example challenges:

    • Turning donor data into insights

    • Modernizing spreadsheets into dashboards

    • Building a secure, scalable cloud environment

  • R2E maintains a curated network of senior technology leaders — cloud architects, cybersecurity specialists, and data strategists with 10–20 years of experience.
    We match each nonprofit with an advisor whose expertise aligns with its needs, ensuring efficient collaboration from day one.

    Engagement format:

    • 2–8 hour consultations (Advisory Network)

    • 20–40 hour projects (Curated Consulting)

  • Advisors and nonprofit teams meet virtually to define clear deliverables — dashboards, process automations, or strategic roadmaps.
    Projects are designed for rapid results, typically completed in 4–8 weeks, with outcomes documented and shared as part of the R2E Impact Library.

    Results:

    • Data-driven fundraising decisions

    • Automated reporting saving staff time

    • Cloud and cybersecurity readiness
