About Vicinity
Vicinity was founded by four seasoned IT professionals with a shared goal: deliver world-class technology services to communities too often overlooked by the tech industry. From rural towns in Alaska to local businesses in Hawaii and tribal lands across the U.S., we saw a need to bring better access, deeper partnerships, and lasting outcomes to people where they live and work.
We created Vicinity to close those gaps—not just with tools, but with people who show up, listen, and build alongside you. Our name is our promise: we stay in your vicinity to serve with proximity, purpose, and trust.
Whether it’s helping a nonprofit secure grant funding, guiding a business through digital transformation, or staffing local talent through education partnerships, we focus on doing well by doing good. That means forming long-term relationships and staying accountable to the outcomes that matter most to the people we serve.
