Thank you for taking a look at my website and learning about my services. The purpose of my work is to help nonprofits achieve their unique, important missions. I work at the intersection of appropriate technology and community service, and I'm troubled by the number of nonprofits who continue to operate with inefficient processes, outdated equipment, and poor tools. I want to help you make your internal processes smooth and efficient. Frustrating work processes lead to staff stress, burnout, and turnover.

My speciality is working with Little Green Light, an affordable CRM solution specifically designed for small and mid-size nonprofits. I do data migrations and implementations of LGL for clients, system cleanup, best practice coaching, training, and integrations between LGL and other systems using Zapier and the LGL API.

About Rick Eaton

I live in Sacramento, California, where I'm active in a number of community activities, including efforts to end homelessness and improve the quality of life in our underserved neighborhoods. I currently serve on the board of Sacramento Area Congregations Together.

After studying at an embarrassingly-large number of institutions of higher education during my 20's, I graduated from Chico State University with a degree in Computer Science when I was 30. I went to work as a business software developer and continued at Chico State, where I earned a Masters Degree (also in Computer Science). I spent nearly 20 years in private industry doing software development, leading projects, and managing procurement and marketing groups.

I left HP to become the successful ED of the Sierra Service Project, a mid-size West Coast nonprofit that serves youth and neglected communities. During my 17 years there, my team and I created a sustainable organization, grew our budget by a factor of three, and developed a very strong fundraising program.
