Our Values
Absalom Media provides web accessible, usable, business solutions for our customers and business clientele. As we have been involved in the online civil rights and digital privacy space for two decades, there are certain industries we welcome for our business. There are also certain industries we will not service on principle..
People matter to us more than predatory capitalism at any cost. As the cost is our humanity.
To that end, we do provide pro bono work to registered charities. Our business structure is to maintain one pro bono charity client at all times and we have continued and upheld this business rule since we started.
We welcome
- Human rights advancement and protection work, including the bodily autonomy of those humans
- Environmental and social protection, including protection of animals, solutions for climate change and solutions for food and housing scarcity

- Government accessibility and infrastructure projects providing a duty of care toward their citizens
- Union and worker right protections projects
