Helping you reach the people who need you most.
Our approach centers on making the process of connecting people with life-changing resources easier, faster, and more intuitive. If someone doesn’t know how to ask for help, or your team doesn’t have the bandwidth to reach them, they might never get it. We change that.
We work with nonprofits, governments, and funders to create people-centered social service and disaster recovery programs. When every second counts, and every barrier can be a dealbreaker, we design and deliver well-coordinated technology and outreach strategies to help you reach vulnerable people and make a bigger impact.
You know what your community needs; we’re here to help you build an infrastructure around those needs. At Connective, we don’t drop in with a one-size-fits-all solution. We work alongside you to configure tools that reflect your community, your goals, your partners, and the way you actually operate.
We help you bring the right people to the table, foster trust, and align around outcomes that matter. Because when you lead with clarity and collaboration, you build the buy-in needed to create the social service solutions our communities deserve.

Program design is at the heart of everything we do. We build fit-for-purpose tools that reflect a deep understanding of both the people seeking support and the providers delivering it, so you can reduce friction, increase access, and start making a difference right away.
Our tools make it easier to:
• Apply for aid online, by phone, or through a simplified form
• Reach people who can’t come to you, such as older adults or people with disabilities
• Give your frontline teams more bandwidth by removing administrative burdens
When programs are designed for the people who rely on them, the impact is immediate and lasting.
Whether you’re launching a new initiative or looking to scale your impact, our advisory services help you do more, more effectively.
We:
• Analyze gaps and external barriers to access
• Conduct “red tape run-throughs” where we test processes in real time to find points of friction and eliminate them
• Design research sprints to understand what your community really needs and how to make it easier for them to access their needs
With decades of combined experience supporting communities through natural disasters, public health crises, and economic instability, we’ve helped providers and researchers find and deliver aid when it’s needed most.
Turn your coalition into a connected force for good.
Whether you’re improving homeownership rates for people of color or running a rental assistance hub, bring your partners together with managed software packages tailored for collective action.
Make it easy to assess needs and direct people to the right support.
Let the technology do the heavy lifting: connecting seekers to services, closing gaps, and keeping everyone aligned. This is more than software; it’s your command center for coordinated care.
