BUILT AROUND THE WORK
ABOUT TAURUS
A small team shouldn’t
have to figure out
every system alone.
Taurus helps small nonprofits turn disconnected tools and manual processes into practical digital infrastructure.
Founded by Daniel McQueen, Taurus brings digital systems thinking to the everyday realities of nonprofit work. The starting point is your organization—not a platform to sell.
DANIEL McQUEEN FOUNDER / TAURUS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few useful answers.
Who can start a Guided Diagnosis?
Program staff, operations teams, development staff, nonprofit leaders, and board members can all explore where stronger systems could help.
Will we need to replace our current tools?
Not necessarily. Taurus starts with your process, improving and connecting existing tools where they fit the work.
Is the $299 Blueprint available to purchase?
It is a planned offer. Checkout is not available. Start with the free diagnosis to explore your starting point.
Do we have to hire Taurus to build the plan?
No. The planned Blueprint can be used independently, with your own team, or with Taurus implementation support. Ongoing Care is also optional.
What should we share when we start?
Describe operational challenges and current processes. Don’t include confidential donor or participant records in public forms. Detailed data access belongs in a separately agreed engagement.
