About Dovetail

Mission & background

Our mission is to help all non-profits find a digital partner that fits.

Dovetail aims to create brilliant fit between non-profits and digital partners. We believe that by providing standardised, useful information, charities will make a better decision about who to work with, leading to greater impact.

Dovetail was first developed at CAST, as a result of a research project exploring charity and agency relationships. We heard that an elusive quality described as ‘fit’ is key.

Leadership & governance

Noam leads Dovetail development. Dovetail is governed and funded by Catalyst.
