About Us

 

Collaboration is at the Heart of Everything We Do.

 

For Love of Team was born from the idea that no one can do it all. No matter how big or small your team may be, the role of each team member is significant. When you unlock the power of collaboration and put your people first, you can grow your organization, your results, and your impact.   

 Today, our work is focused primarily on supporting United Ways. We created COMPASS™ to support organizational leaders with aligning their people, their processes, and their platforms.   

 Our number one goal is to help optimize how the technology being used supports the overall mission. We believe there is a better way to get the most from your technology investments - and we are passionate about showing you how to do this.
