Technology beyond profit
We believe technology should create value beyond business. That's why the same team and tools that build Ristra also work for a nonprofit, at no cost to it.
The GAEP partnership
GAEP (Grupo Amor em Patas) is an animal welfare nonprofit in Belo Horizonte with a 23.8K strong community and over 100 rescued animals under its care.
Ristra built and maintains, at no cost, GAEP's website, its recurring donation and sponsorship system, its adoption and volunteer forms and its official store, whose profits go entirely to the nonprofit. The same team that develops the real estate platform looks after these tools, so volunteers can focus on what matters: saving animals.
This isn't a one-off donation. It's ongoing work, with the same tools and the same standard we use in our own business.

A replicable model
GAEP is not the only nonprofit that can benefit: we're documenting a digital management model that any organization in the country can replicate. Processes and learnings will be shared openly.
Knowledge transfer
We don't just share tools: we help GAEP organize processes, structure fundraising and implement its visual identity. Real guidance, not just a pledge.
Zero cost
Ristra does not charge GAEP for the work described. The tools and the team already exist for Ristra's business.
Open playbook
Any technology company can do this with a nonprofit in its city. We're proving the model so others can follow.
