Qomon, what is your political affiliation? This is a question we get all the time. And the answer is always the same: none.
Because we know our place
Qomon is an innovative, product-driven company committed to building the best technology possible for political & nonprofits organizations—no more, no less.
Scaling volunteer operations and managing data while maintaining simplicity is a challenging task—it requires organization, efficiency, and the right tools. That’s where we come in: we’ll handle the logistics, you do the politics.
Our focus is on building cutting-edge technology that helps NGOs, political organizations, and social movements mobilize supporters and scale their data operations in the most impactful way possible. It’s our firm belief that when you do politics or take sides, you inevitably lose focus and, ultimately, the drive to innovate.
Simply put: for us, doing politics and building an ever-improving, easy-to-use product are two different focuses—two different jobs.
Be part of the solution, not the problem
Over the last 20 years, polarization has spread widely, becoming one of the biggest challenges in politics and tech, such as on social media. This divide has also been seen within software vendors, with some reinforcing partisan lines—leaving us with nuanced results.
That's why we struggle to see how further polarizing technology is the solution. Even if it has become a habit over the years for all of us, that doesn't make it the right path going forward.
Platforms were once a non-toxic environment and it's possible to achieve that status again. If we were focusing on division rather than the effectiveness of our product, we would be part of the problem, not the solution.
And we’re here to be part of the solution.
Being nonpartisan doesn't mean we don't have limits
And it doesn't mean we are neutral. Because when it comes to technology, nothing is truly neutral. The fact that we are non-partisan by design does not mean we are neutral in any way. Our design and business choices reflect our core beliefs and values as an organization. Qomon exists to encourage people to get together, contribute to a greater cause and above all, inspire action.
We exist because we believe in the power and agency of volunteers, and that technology should also modernize and professionalize politics and nonprofits, just as it does in other industries.
That is our value proposition at its core. And, in a way, our (only) partisan stance.
This means Qomon is not necessarily for everyone. Some people dismiss collective action. Others believe in quick shortcuts rather than people-powered movements. Many resist bringing digital efficiency to politics and the nonprofit world and see any act of modernization as an heresy. For those people, we simply aren't the right fit.
And it doesn't mean we don't draw clear lines
At this moment, Qomon works in more than 70 countries, and depending on the country and the local culture, the values and political landscape can have very different perspectives. Yet, we have limits. And those limits are global.
With Qomon, engaging in misinformation, harassment, hate speech, inappropriate or inaccurate content, unwanted communications, illegal activities, and other harmful behaviors is strictly prohibited. These guidelines are fully outlined in our Terms of Use, which you can explore in detail here.
Those are our limits, because being non-partisan doesn't mean you don't have beliefs, values or limits. We believe it can actually make you part of the solution.

In short: Qomon is Non-Partisan.
- Because we know our place: Our mission is to build the best software for nonprofits & political organizations.. Our firm belief is that to stay innovative, our focus needs to stay on creating efficient tech and logistics—not politics.
- We want to be part of the solution, not the problem: Over the past decade, polarization has intensified in both politics and social media. Some tech vendors have fueled this divide rather than bridging it. At Qomon, we believe that adding to polarization isn’t the path forward. Even though breaking this habit isn’t easy, we want to be part of the solution.
- Being nonpartisan doesn’t mean lacking values or being totally neutral – Our app, platform, and the methods they promote are not neutral; they are simply not for everyone.
- Nonpartisan does not mean without limits: Despite working in very different contexts (70+ countries), we have global boundaries: no hate speech, illegal activities, or misinformation.
