Build once. Deploy everywhere.
Full Harbor is open infrastructure for organizations that will never have a CTO. We build the institutional data infrastructure, AI-enabled knowledge systems, and operational frameworks that sailing clubs, yacht clubs, community sailing programs, and waterfront nonprofits need — but cannot individually afford to build alone.
Sailing is Example 1.
Live site: https://commons.fullharbor.org
Harbor Commons is the clearest public proof of the work:
- 4.2M IRS filings in the underlying public-record universe
- 2,000+ sailing and maritime organizations surfaced for analysis
- 13 filing years of nonprofit infrastructure context
It turns public nonprofit records into field-usable infrastructure for practitioners, boards, funders, and researchers.
If you only click one thing, click Harbor Commons.
Every club, nonprofit, and field intermediary faces the same recurring problem: important operational knowledge exists, but the infrastructure to organize it does not.
That means:
- the same questions get answered over and over
- invisible labor accumulates in staff and volunteers
- public records remain technically accessible but practically unusable
- small organizations act like they need a CTO, even when they will never have one
Full Harbor builds shared infrastructure so organizations can start from systems instead of from scratch.
| Repo | What it does |
|---|---|
harbor-commons |
Public product and method layer for field-level nonprofit intelligence |
irs-990-extract |
Reusable XML extractors for IRS 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF filings |
pdf-goat |
Canonical PDF ingestion pipeline for OCR, chunking, embeddings, and provenance |
These are not side projects. They are supporting artifacts of the same infrastructure thesis.
Full Harbor operates as a fractional member of its host organizations — not as an outside consultant, not as a SaaS vendor. We embed into the work, build infrastructure that transfers, and amortize the cost across a network that shares the benefit.
One 990 extraction layer → every nonprofit waterfront organization.
One PDF discipline → every board packet, filing, and policy archive.
One public commons → a broader view of the field.
Public:
- methods
- code
- product-facing documentation
- public-record infrastructure
Private:
- hiring judgments
- grantee flags
- application-specific research
- named scoring of live organizations
That lane discipline is deliberate.
The invisible labor absorbed by volunteers and underpaid staff who simply care enough to do this work — without compensation, recognition, or infrastructure.
Full Harbor exists to replace heroics with systems.

One set of tools. One knowledge base. One set of receipts. Serving an entire sector that has never had shared infrastructure.
