About

The Chicago Technology Cooperative, founded in March 2005, provides website and application development services to nonprofit and community organizations across the United States and Canada. The Cooperative is comprised of talented consultants, technicians, developers, and designers, all with extensive experience serving the unique needs of nonprofit and community-based organizations. Members of the Cooperative are committed to helping nonprofit organizations harness and leverage technology as a tool to better serve their constituencies and society as a whole.

The members of the Chicago Technology Cooperative are committed to the ideals and promise of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). As active participants in the nonprofit open source ecology, we sponsor and co-sponsor several popular Drupal modules, including Gmap, Location3, and the Scald Media Platform.

The Cooperative's core competencies include:

  • Strategic Internet presence consulting
  • Advanced customization and implementation of Drupal-based websites
  • Advanced customization and implementation of CiviCRM-based databases
  • Custom software and application development in PHP, Perl, Python, and Django
  • Creative graphic design and collateral offerings
  • Website analytics and search engine optimization

CTC dissolved in 2010 and its members moved on to other nonprofit technology, website development, and application development opportunities.  Nonprofit organizations seeking website assistance can contact Jim Craner or Jacob Roufa.  Employers seeking to verify employment of former CTC members can use this form.
