Chicago nonprofits run food pantries in Little Village, youth programs in Englewood, museums on the lakefront and worker centers in the suburbs. ITServices.Tech runs IT as a managed service for Chicago nonprofits, from user help and threat protection to backup and the long-range technology roadmap.
The Chicago nonprofit community
Chicago has a large and diverse nonprofit sector, from neighborhood social service agencies and food pantries to museums, orchestras, universities and national foundations. Many organizations serve immigrant communities in several languages.
Charitable registration in Illinois
Illinois requires most charities that solicit donations to register and file annual reports with the Attorney General’s Charitable Trust Bureau. Keeping financial records, board documents and filings organized and backed up makes those reports easier.
Biometrics and volunteers
A fingerprint scanner at the volunteer desk seems harmless, yet Illinois treats the scan as protected biometric data with consent and retention rules of its own. A badge, QR code or simple sign-in app usually does the job with none of that exposure.
Client data
Case files hold diagnoses, pay stubs and immigration papers. We let each caseworker see only their own clients, encrypt every laptop, move paper intake to secure online forms and test a restore of the case system every quarter.
Budgets
Grant budgets are tight. We enroll you in donated and discounted software programs, match every license to a named person and shut off accounts nobody uses.
IT services for Chicago nonprofits
- Microsoft 365 administration and licensing that fits
- Secure accounts for staff and volunteers
- Backups for donor and program data
- Planning around grant cycles
Everything runs under one managed IT agreement, with the help desk, monitoring, patching, Microsoft 365, security and backups handled by the same team.
Software we support
We support the systems you already run, such as Raiser’s Edge, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect and Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, along with fund accounting like Sage Intacct and QuickBooks, without making you replace them.
Security and compliance
Donor and client data need protection. MFA, access controls and backups keep it safe on a nonprofit budget.
Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) regulates fingerprint and face data, which matters for biometric time clocks.
