Nonprofit IT. Done Right.
Volunteer turnover is normal. The cleanup should be automatic.
- ✓ Access revoked cleanly and licenses reclaimed, so you are not paying for accounts that should not exist
- ✓ Documents stored centrally in SharePoint, not scattered across personal OneDrives or laptops
- ✓ Clear ownership and standards so work does not stall when a volunteer disappears
We work with nonprofits (and tight budgets)
We help nonprofits run stable day-to-day IT: Microsoft 365, devices, access control, backups, and a helpdesk that owns problems end-to-end. If your budget is constrained, tell us up front. We’ll be direct about what we can do and what we can’t.
Money isn’t always there. We get it. The goal isn’t “perfect IT”. The goal is outcomes that match the budget you actually have. Sometimes the honest answer is: “We can’t do everything this quarter.” Cool. We’ll pick the battles that matter.
How we keep nonprofit IT costs under control
Everyone says they want a system that never goes down. And to be clear, that system can be built. But let’s slow down and actually imagine what that means.
You don’t want to lose internet. Okay. Now you need a second ISP. Or a cellular backup. What if the router dies? Now you need two. Power flickers? Add battery backups. Longer outage? Now you’re talking generators.
And we are still just at the edge. We haven’t touched switch redundancy. Or computers losing power. Or a bad firmware update. Or an earthquake. Or a construction crew down the street taking out a line you didn’t know you shared.
This is how over-engineering happens. Not because it is wrong, but because every layer solves a real problem and adds real cost. And even after all of that, things still go down. Amazon has outages. Google has outages. Microsoft has outages. They do all of this and more, and downtime still happens.
So the real question is not “can we build a system that never goes down.” It is “what level of downtime actually makes sense to pay for.” Sometimes a ten-minute outage is cheaper than trying to prevent it.
Our approach is to be honest about those tradeoffs. We design systems that prevent the common failures, recover quickly from the rest, and do not pretend perfection is free. You will still have outages. Just fewer of them. And when they happen, they will not turn into a fire drill. That is the balance. Spend money where it actually reduces pain, accept the rest, and keep the focus on the mission instead of the infrastructure.
