Who we are

U.S. Digital Response connects experienced, pro bono technologists with public servants and organizations responding to crisis. We’re fast, and we’re free.

Founded by former U.S. Deputy CTOs and seasoned tech industry veterans, USDR is a nonpartisan effort that deploys highly qualified professionals to support governments and NGOs in their efforts to deliver critical services to the people who need them — all within days to weeks. USDR is actively matching these mission-driven professionals to the needs of states, counties, cities, federal agencies and other organizations.

USDR volunteers can work within defined or ambiguous scopes — we’re here to help problem-solve together. While we have a variety of replicable, “off-the-shelf” solutions, we are committed to partnering directly with governments on the specific issues facing your communities. No issue is too big or too small.

 Use the following form to tell us about the challenge(s) you are facing, so we can understand how to help.

This is a non-exhaustive list of needs that we have seen from partners on a recurring basis. If your need is represented here, completing this field will help us connect you to the right team sooner. If not, we still want to hear from you—please describe your need in the next field.
