Some of the most attractive companies to work for today are the ones taking it into their own hands to make positive change in the world.
People who work for nonprofits are often more fulfilled by their work and feel that they are making progress everyday. In fact, 93% of nonprofit employees say they feel engaged in their work.
Another attractive prospect of the nonprofit sector is that it is growing; in 2020 the market size was valued at $253B and this number is projected to grow to $345B by 2027. Additionally, some nonprofits receive public and private grants, allowing them to offer better compensation packages.
Code for America is a nonprofit that merges the best parts of technology with government to help make it work for everyone. They empower government and community organizations with the tools and tech to help make government services more accessible and effective.
One downside of working for nonprofits is that they don’t pay as much as for-profit companies, but luckily there are plenty of for-profit companies that have a mission that seeks to better the world. Since tech is an increasingly important part of how any organization gets its work done, there are ample opportunities to work at for-profit companies that help nonprofits achieve their missions.
Vera Solutions is a social enterprise that’s dedicated to building could and mobile applications for social impact organizations across the world. They help organizations working in fields like health and education to work more effectively with the help of their tech solutions. The San Diego, Calif.,-based fundraising platform Classy enables nonprofit social good organizations to easily raise funds.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
