Making Life Simpler
Our Mission at Ship Thrifty
At Ship Thrifty, we believe that technology should make life simpler, not more complicated. Our journey started with a simple idea—to streamline the shipping for individuals and small businesses. With two decades of experience across finance, healthcare, and technology, we set out to create a shipping platform that eliminates the confusion and complexity many people face. Ship Thrifty started as a way to make shipping easier for everyone.
Our Story
Supporting Military Families
But a simple request from a military family member preparing for deployment changed everything. They asked if we could make military shipping easier. That question opened our eyes to the challenges military families face when trying to send care packages overseas—confusing rules, high costs, and overwhelming paperwork.
From that moment, our mission expanded. We became passionate about creating better solutions for military families and those who support them. We developed custom military shipping features into Ship Thrifty to make it easier for military families and nonprofits sending care packages to the troops. To further support this mission, we created Ship To Military, a free online resource packed with information, packing tips, savings tips and more to help with military shipping.
Creating Practical Solutions
Our Commitment: Innovating with a Purpose
As we worked closely with nonprofits that send care packages to troops, we started hearing a recurring theme: these organizations weren’t just struggling with shipping—they were struggling to grow and thrive. They lacked affordable, simple technology to help them share their stories, raise funds, and engage supporters. They were being stretched thin and unable to focus on their missions because they lacked the right tools to thrive in today’s digital world.
This led us to create 501 Tech Stack. 501 Tech Stack helps organizations streamline donations, enhance their online presence, and engage volunteers and supporters better. Our goal is simple: to level the playing field and empower nonprofits to amplify their impact through technology.
Our journey has been shaped by these experiences, and today, we continue to innovate and build tools that make life easier, whether it’s for families, businesses, or nonprofits. With a focus on simplicity, cutting-edge technology, and an unwavering commitment to service, we aim to empower organizations to thrive in an increasingly competitive world.
Innovating Solutions with Heart
At Ship Thrifty and 501 Tech Stack, innovation is driven by a deep desire to give back. We’ve made it our mission to create practical, technology-driven solutions that help nonprofits, military families, and small businesses focus on what matters most. Whether it’s making shipping more accessible or creating tech tools to help nonprofits excel online, we’re committed to making a difference.
Through it all, our focus remains clear: to provide simple, intuitive technology that empowers people to thrive. We believe that powerful tools should be accessible to everyone, whether you’re sending care packages across the world or growing a nonprofit that changes lives.
We’re also deeply committed to supporting nonprofits and charitable causes, ensuring they have the resources they need to make a bigger impact in the world.
