“We started IntelliTect to build a better world through the profits of the business. Our goal is to create real impact, especially where the needs are the greatest, one community at a time.”

our philosophy

Giving with Purpose

Since day one, IntelliTect has been driven by the belief that business success and social impact can go hand in hand. Our commitment to philanthropy influences every decision we make, from how we operate as a business to the types of projects we support.

IntelliTect’s focus on strategic giving means we invest in non-profit organizations that tackle the root causes of injustice, rather than only offering short-term relief. As a company, we strive to go beyond donations and play an active role in creating sustainable solutions. This is why our employees choose to work here—because they believe in the mission that was established by Mark and Elisabeth Michaelis at the founding of our company.

“We’ve seen firsthand the impact that our giving can have, whether it’s helping a child escape poverty or supporting families as they transition out of homelessness.”

Elisabeth Michaelis, Co-Founder of IntelliTect

Building a Better World

IntelliTect’s commitment to philanthropy is driven by the belief that it is possible to reduce extreme poverty, injustice, and suffering with generosity. Fighting injustice means addressing systemic barriers that imprison people in abject poverty despite their efforts to escape. Our contributions aim to support those who have been underserved and marginalized, providing them with resources and opportunities to build better lives and to have agency over their circumstances.

Each of our partnerships is a testament to this mission, representing real stories of individuals overcoming adversity and communities finding new hope. From helping a child escape poverty to supporting families as they transition out of homelessness, our efforts have impacted thousands of lives worldwide.

“Our children will be less prone to hunger once our cow calves because we will have enough milk to supplement the staple food, and we will generate income from selling the surplus. I am certain that my family’s life condition will not be the same.”

Emmanuel, Gitwa Village
