who we are

About Us

Indigo Bird represents the combined efforts of a passionate and talented group of people from both the public and private sectors who are determined to find a grassroots solution to ongoing emergent crises, such as natural disasters caused by wildfire or flooding, response to a migrant crisis, or migration due to legal changes impacting access to healthcare services.

Our team is comprised of individuals with deep industry expertise in crisis response as well as the software development space. We have a network of supporters lending their expertise in crisis response, community development, software engineering, and more.

Indigo Bird was first dreamed up by an employee of a major non-profit organization who believes that immediate relief is better managed at the community level during emergent crises. We simply need to offer the tools to help communities gather, coordinate, and respond.

Our Values

We believe there are a lot of helpers who have resources they want to give.

At Indigo Bird, we firmly believe in the inherent generosity of people.
Many individuals possess resources, whether tangible goods, skills, or time, that they are eager to contribute toward helping others. We strive to harness this collective spirit of giving by providing a platform where these helpers can easily connect with those in urgent need, fostering a community-driven approach to support.

We believe everyone deserves access to shelter, healthcare, food, and basic needs.

Indigo Bird operates under the fundamental principle that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves access to essential human rights, including shelter, healthcare, nutritious food, and other basic necessities. We recognize that these fundamental needs form the cornerstone of human dignity and well-being. Through our efforts, we aim to empower marginalized and vulnerable communities to access and secure these vital resources, promoting equity and justice for all.

We believe there is enough for everyone.

Indigo Bird embraces the belief that abundance exists in our world, and there are ample resources available to meet the needs of all individuals. By fostering a culture of sharing, collaboration, and resource optimization, we seek to challenge the notion of scarcity and demonstrate that, through collective effort and equitable distribution, we can ensure that everyone has access to the resources they require for a dignified life. We are committed to promoting sustainability and inclusivity, striving to create a future where no one is left behind due to lack of resources.
