Development challenges for nonprofits and social purpose organisations
Organisations building internal tools or data systems often rely on small or overstretched tech teams
Developers spend time on repetitive coding, debugging, and navigating documentation instead of building core functionality
Working across existing codebases and making incremental changes slows development cycles
Limited capacity makes it difficult to scale or improve tools that support programme delivery and data systems
Tools like GitHub Copilot support developers directly within their coding workflow by suggesting code, completing functions, and assisting with documentation in real time.
Within GitHub, teams can manage code changes, collaborate effectively, and maintain structured development workflows.
