The Challenge

Your mission matters more
than your IT budget

Non-profits are expected to do more with less. Fundraising, program delivery and community work all depend on reliable technology. Volunteer turnover and a mix of staff devices make access and account hygiene harder to manage.

Donor data, grant reporting and member records also need real protection. A breach damages donor trust and disrupts daily operations. Insurance, auditors and sources for funding are asking tougher cybersecurity questions each year.

Common Questions

Non-Profit IT FAQ

Have a question that isn't covered? Get in touch. We're happy to talk through specifics.

01 Do you work with TechSoup, Microsoft and Google non-profit programs?
Yes. We handle the TechSoup validation and the Microsoft non-profit grant application on your behalf. You tell us the organization details, we run the process on your behalf. For eligible charities, that typically unlocks free Microsoft 365 Business Basic licenses for a large number of users, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium at roughly 75% off commercial pricing, plus Azure credits and Dynamics. Google Workspace for Nonprofits and Google Ad Grants follow a similar process.
02 Do you offer charity pricing for managed services?
We offer discounted rates for registered charities and non-profit organizations in Eastern Ontario. We will work with your budget to find a managed services plan that protects your mission without draining your reserves.
03 Can you support remote and volunteer staff?
Yes. We configure secure remote access, Microsoft 365 for volunteers and clear offboarding procedures so departing volunteers do not keep access to your systems. We also handle the short-term provisioning that comes with seasonal campaigns.
04 What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
Our job is to prevent that. We run layered defences, tested offsite backups and a practiced incident response plan that we can run tabletops against if a funder or insurance carrier requires it. If the worst happens, we restore your donor data, financials and program records from clean backups usually within hours, and full system images the same day without paying the ransom.
05 Can you help us report on cybersecurity to funders?
Yes. Funders, insurance carriers and auditors increasingly want evidence of cybersecurity controls. Based on what the specific ask is, we help you put together the documentation (endpoint protection, backups, user training, access controls) in a format you can share.
06 What happens to our current IT provider during the switch?
We handle the transition. We coordinate with your current provider to gather credentials, documentation and access. Your team does not need to lift a finger, and we keep your organization running through the handoff.
07 How does your pricing work?
Our managed IT services are billed with flat monthly pricing based on the number of users, workstations and servers we support, with charity discounts applied. No hourly fees for support, no surprise invoices when something breaks. You know exactly what your IT costs each month.
