A Responsible Model
Made for Nonprofits
Sensitive to the needs of nonprofits and artists, UpStage is designed as an uncompromising solution to promote everything an arts organization needs to design, launch, and manage their website, events management, email marketing, and metrics at a level exceeding results from traditional bespoke solutions that cost tens of thousands of dollars on up.
We reject predatory practices that gouge users in favor of a business model that embraces sustainability over blind profit margins. A responsible, sustainable business model is at the heart of our organization.
Better With Every User
UpStage combines the best features of open source content management platforms and purpose built applications to deliver a sophisticated next generation technology. All of this conspires to give UpStage the capacity to have the same impact on arts organizations that Henry Ford’s Model T had on the auto industry.
To that end, UpStage’s sustainability only improves as additional users are added. Our business plan is designed around an economy of scale model that rejects the old out of sight, out of mind working relationship approach between developers and clients.
Savings Go Back In
Since UpStage functions as a cloud based platform, it doesn’t matter if we have one or 1,000 users, ongoing maintenance and support demands increase at a fraction of the rate as capacity. And since the profit margins remain consistent, that means we’re able to redirect additional profit into keeping costs as null as possible while continuously improving and upgrading features and functionality.
Advocacy & Altruism
Pro Bono
Each fiscal year, UpStage contributes no less than 40 hours of pro bono work to users, additional arts orgs, and service organizations. It’s our responsibility to give back to the local community and the national arts field and we’re proud to accommodate more and more requests each year.
