Who We Help  /  Non-profits

Your budget should go to the mission.

Everything we do for a small business we do for a nonprofit: the same help desk, the same planning, the same people. What changes is what sits around the technology — a board, a funder, a volunteer roster, and a budget that answers to all three.

We understand mission-driven work firsthand. Funder compliance, fundraising, and grant reporting are not background noise to us. They are things that should shape how your technology gets built in the first place, rather than requirements you discover after it is finished.

A trumpet player in red glasses and a white shirt sits on stage holding his trumpet and a roll of blue tape, beside a laptop running a video feed on a stand, with timpani, the orchestra, and the audience behind him.
When the Midcoast Symphony needed an A/V solution for their performance of Mahler's Second Symphony, we were there to help (and play in the orchestra!)

We know how nonprofits work

We help write grants

Scopes, quotes, budget narratives, and written assessments you can attach to an application or a funder report — in language a program officer will read without translating.

Restricted funding, understood

We know how grant conditions and restricted funds work. Tell us which award this is coming out of and we will help you structure the statement of work so the engagement counts against that grant.

Discounts you may not know exist

TechSoup, Tech for Good, and the nonprofit programs at Google and Microsoft. We work out what you qualify for, chase the donated licenses, and handle the paperwork.

Technology that serves the mission

Before we recommend anything, we ask what it does for the people you serve. If a tool cannot earn its line in the budget, we will say so.

What this looks like for a nonprofit

A sample of the work we get asked for most often. Happy to connect you with a client whose situation looks like yours.

  • Grant reporting dashboards that funders actually trust.
  • A donor database that does not quietly corrupt itself.
  • Volunteer scheduling that gives the executive director their hours back.
  • Compliance documentation that holds up in an audit.

How we'd start

Discounted rates are standard here, not a favor.

  1. 01 We learn the program. What you do, who you serve, and how technology currently helps or gets in the way.
  2. 02 We write it down. A short assessment you can hand to a board, a funder, or your next hire.
  3. 03 We work at your pace. Around grant cycles, seasonal programs, and the weeks when everyone is at an event.
