About

Software consulting for busy nonprofits.

Focus on what matters to you, we’ll handle the database—and help you get the most from it.

Software should help.

Too many nonprofits needlessly struggle with their software. Your software should be easy to use and help you do better work with less effort. But setting up and administering a database is tough. That’s why we’re here.

Get results from your software.

We offer products and services that make your software easier to use and more capable. Our clients are tired of wasting time, money, and energy on software tools that aren’t working, so they partner with us to save time, streamline tasks, and gain insight from their software systems.

Professional services to do the heavy lifting.

We are your database Sidekick (consultant), specializing in Social Solutions Apricot™ software, Blackbaud® eTapestry®, Neon One’s NeonCRM, and Bloomerang®. We help new and existing users make the most of their software with a range of professional services for implementation, reporting, consulting, data migration, database audit/cleanup, and integrations.

Our Team

Jeffrey Haguewood

Owner and Managing Director — Port Angeles, WA

Most organizations I talk with about their software say the same thing. They aren’t getting all they need. They are paying for great software, but the return just isn’t what they expected. The Sidekick Solutions team was founded to help organizations turn their software into productivity tools. Our goal is to offer reliable, personalized software services from experts you can trust.

By identifying roadblocks and removing obstacles, I enable our consultants to focus on key deliverables that keep your projects moving forward.

Ally Seidel

VP, Professional Services — Seattle, WA

As a former development associate, I know what it’s like to feel like you never have enough time to actually work on the software improvements you want: your database is just one of the many hats you wear.

Jessie Gilchrist

Zapier Product Manager, Senior Consultant — Port Angeles, WA
