Vortex’s Community Donations & Support
“Giving back to the community that supports us…”
Vortex supports a wide variety of community endeavors including many
non-profits, educational organizations, schools, research practices and green endeavors.
This is done through donations of money, merchandise, free site hosting + maintenance and in-kind donations.
We feel a strong obligation to support local schools, community organizations and worthy causes.
We believe we have a social and financial obligation to the community that supports us.

The Vortex Seva Project is a yearly, free $7,000-$10,000 website design and development project donated by the staff of Vortex Business Solutions to a local non-profit. Once a year a call goes out to the corridor community to nominate a worthy 501(c)(3) by filling out this form. The Vortex staff reviews and collectively votes on that year’s beneficiary. Past recipients include Table2Table, DVIP and The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success. If you know of a non-profit in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor in need of a new website or website redesign, please nominate them by clicking here
