San Francisco nonprofits run housing, health, legal aid, arts and environmental programs, many funded by city contracts and tech philanthropy. ITServices.Tech looks after IT for San Francisco nonprofits as a managed service: people get help when something breaks, systems are defended and backed up, and leadership gets a technology plan.
The San Francisco nonprofit community
San Francisco relies on nonprofits to deliver many city services, from supportive housing and shelters to clinics, youth programs and food assistance. Museums, symphony and opera, environmental groups and national foundations are based here too.
City contracts and oversight
Nonprofits with city contracts report outcomes, spending and client counts and face audits. Accurate data, secure access to city systems and organized financial records make reporting and audits easier.
Shared city data systems
Housing and homelessness programs enter client data into shared city systems. Each staff member needs a personal login, training on what to record and prompt removal when they leave.
State registration
California charities generally register with the Attorney General and renew each year with financial reports. Keeping the 990, audit and board documents in a backed-up shared folder makes renewal quick.
Client privacy
Shelters, clinics and legal aid groups record diagnoses, eviction notices, income and immigration status. Case files should open only for assigned staff, every laptop should be encrypted and paper intake should give way to secure online forms.
Tech philanthropy
Volunteer engineers from tech companies sometimes build a database or app for a nonprofit and then move on. We document what they built, secure it and keep it running so the program does not depend on one volunteer.
Budgets
Discounted and donated licenses only save money if someone tracks them. We handle enrollment, match each seat to a named staff member and close accounts for people who have left.
IT services for San Francisco 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.
California’s privacy laws, including the CCPA, give residents rights over their personal information and raise the stakes of a breach.
