Tech Partnership Programme

Technology in service
of social impact

HUMANOVA builds technology for companies that want to mean something. You get a professional application at below-market cost. In return, a monthly contribution — agreed with you individually — goes to a real community in need: children who can't afford sport, animals without shelter, people without access. Managed by a Swiss non-profit. Reported publicly. Every franc accounted for.

How it works

Three steps.
Two agreements. One result.

01
You need a tech solution
A web app, e-commerce store, mobile platform, or any custom digital tool. We assess scope and agree on a below-market price before work begins.
02
We build and maintain it
Expert development by an independent technical contractor — professional, modern, and built to last. You own the result.
03
You fund real impact
A social contribution managed by HUMANOVA, deployed to a named beneficiary, and reported publicly within 60 days of each deployment.
Two independent agreements · One partnership
How the contribution works

One model.
Agreed individually.

There are no rigid tiers. Every partnership is different — the scale of the project, the size of the company, and the social goal are all different. The monthly social contribution is agreed at the time of signing, proportional to the project and the partner's capacity.

→
One-time technical fee
Paid directly to the technical contractor. Covers the design and build of your application. Agreed before work begins. Significantly below standard agency rates.
→
Monthly maintenance retaineroptional
For partners who want ongoing technical support, updates, and hosting oversight. Paid to the contractor. Cancellable with 30 days' notice.
→
Monthly social contribution — to HUMANOVA
A fixed monthly amount, agreed at signing and independent of revenue. Paid directly to HUMANOVA. Deployed to the named impact objective. Reported publicly within 60 days of each deployment.

How we agree the amount: We discuss it together during the initial call — based on what we're building, your company's stage, and the impact goal you want to commit to. There is no formula. There is no minimum that excludes small brands and no percentage that punishes growth.

in practice

Live · Inaugural partnershipBJJ brand × HUMANOVA

Kimono for Kids

A BJJ gi brand needed a custom e-commerce platform. HUMANOVA's technical contractor built it at below-market rates. In return, a percentage of each sale is managed by HUMANOVA to fund kimonos and competition entry fees for children in Brazil who otherwise cannot access the sport. The brand gains a real, documented story. The kids gain access. HUMANOVA reports publicly on every CHF deployed.

Our principles

How we think
about this programme

01
Two agreements, fully independent.
The technical contract is between you and the contractor. The social commitment is between you and HUMANOVA. They run in parallel and are never co-mingled. If a dispute arises on the tech side, your social commitment is unaffected, and vice versa.
02
Every contribution is named, deployed, and reported.
We define the beneficiary before you sign. We publish what we did with your contribution within 60 days of deployment. No vague sustainability initiatives. A specific child. A specific kimono. A specific competition.
03
Social impact is not a marketing trick here.
We select partners whose values align with our mission. We decline partnerships that conflict with our purpose. The brand value is real because the impact is real — documented, verifiable, independently managed.
04
Non-profit is a principle, not a status.
HUMANOVA is a Swiss non-profit association under Art. 60–79 of the Civil Code. Every franc of surplus is reinvested in the mission. We don't exit. We build for the long term because the problems we work on are long-term.
