About

RESON helps organizations leverage Internet and Mobile communication technologies to increase impact and scale operations in a sustainable manner. We consult to socially focused organizations, non-profits, governments and NGOs in the areas of Awareness, Campaigns and Metrics over Mobile and Internet.

RESON is a service of Resdida Development, Inc (RDI). RDI’s programs directly address the problem of a lack of information reaching poor and marginalized communities, particularly in rural areas, which creates and perpetuates poverty.

To accomplish this, RESON assists organizations with strategy, program design, program management, content placement, SEO and the collection of metrics. RDI also works with Resdida, LLC to develop technologies and make local customizations to existing technologies that help to better meet the needs of the rural marketplace.

Resdida Development, Inc has applied for 501c3 status and is a fiscally sponsored project while awaiting the IRS ruling. Resdida Development, Inc is based in the San Francisco Bay area and is connected via a services agreement to Resdida, LLC a for-profit social benefit enterprise focused on the technical aspects of information delivery to emerging economies.
