The IT challenges nonprofits face
Budgets are tight, volunteers come and go on shared devices, and donor and client data must stay private. Many nonprofits run on donated hardware and a patchwork of free tools that nobody fully owns.
Security and compliance
Donor and client data need protection that fits a nonprofit budget. Multi-factor authentication, sensible access controls and tested backups give most of the protection for little cost. Separate, limited accounts keep volunteer access safe, and access is removed the day a volunteer leaves.
Software we work with
We keep the systems behind donor management, Microsoft 365 and accounting software running. We help you use nonprofit licensing programs where you qualify, and we match licenses to real use so you are not paying for seats nobody needs. Common examples include donor databases such as Raiser’s Edge, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect and Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, along with fund accounting like Sage Intacct and QuickBooks.
How we help
- Microsoft 365 administration and licensing that fits.
- Secure accounts for staff and volunteers.
- Backups for donor and program data.
- Planning around grant cycles, so hardware and projects line up with funding.
If data is exposed
Donor and member records are covered by state breach laws, and a breach can mean notices to supporters in every state where they live. Encryption, multi-factor authentication and good logging make a breach less likely and much easier to scope. Our guide to data breach notification laws explains the deadlines and who to notify.

Every quote is written for your environment after a short call about your users, devices and the systems you rely on. Agreements are longer-term rather than month to month, which gives us time to document your systems and close security gaps properly. Request a quote.
