For employees who need to change their withholdings, the IRS also released a new Form W-4.

Nonprofits need this at least as much as large businesses, but often lack the skills or time and can't afford a full-time hire. That's where we come in.

They do this by connecting data professionals with organizations for part-time projects during nights and weekends. To validate which data professionals are a good fit for paid projects with Boise Analytics, they facilitate small pro bono projects as a proving ground.
