Community Development

Craftsman Technology Group supports organizations and institutions that strengthen our communities and improve society as a whole. We work with organizations committed to ending hunger, reducing prisoner recidivism, resettling refugees, fostering self-sufficiency and other efforts aimed at the common good. We see community development as a natural extension of our core mission.

Our Community Development Practice helps build capacity in those organizations that build capacity in others. We are your partner for customizable industry solutions. As experts in lending, Craftsman’s team produces results to meet the complex and unique needs of the mission-driven organizations they work with. Learn about Salesforce for CDFIs.

Experts in Systems for Inclusive Capital

Access to capital can determine whether an individual can successfully start a business, get an education or face difficult and unpredictable circumstances. Beyond the economic benefits to the individual, vibrant small businesses make strong communities. Education empowers and enables people to both realize their own potential and contribute to society. A bridge across difficult and unpredictable circumstances can be the difference to a family recovering from what life has thrown at them. What starts as a benefit for one quickly becomes a benefit for us all.

Craftsman partners with organizations that are experts in providing inclusive capital. We are experts in creating systems that support them.

Without CTG’s expertise and involvement, it would have been extremely difficult to integrate our other systems with Salesforce, and to satisfy our requirements. CTG’s project management ensured success, while helping to match the other vendor’s deliverables to our needs. The team was always flexible and willing to do what it took to get the job done.
