IT for nonprofits

IT services for nonprofits in Los Angeles.

Outsourced IT for Los Angeles nonprofits: enterprise-grade support and security at nonprofit prices, with the Microsoft and Google nonprofit licensing set up so you pay what a nonprofit should. One flat monthly fee per user that fits a board budget and a grant report.

What we deliver

What a nonprofit needs from IT.

A nonprofit with 20 to 200 staff across several program sites has the same security exposure as a company, a fraction of the budget, and funders who want proof. We've run IT for Los Angeles nonprofits since 1997, including a family-services organization with more than 25 program sites, and the shape of the work is always the same.

Priced for a nonprofit

One per-user price that includes support, security and the compliance work, with nonprofit pricing for 501(c)(3) organizations. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace nonprofit grants and discounts set up correctly, which is usually the first money we save you.

A plan the board can read

A quarterly review with your executive director or operations lead: what broke, what we fixed, what the next grant cycle needs and what to budget. A 12-month technology plan in plain English for the board.

Security funders and auditors ask about

Client records protected, HIPAA for programs that handle health information, a Business Associate Agreement signed where it's required, and the documentation a funder, an auditor or a cyber insurer asks for.

Flexible management

How we work with a nonprofit.

Onboarding starts with an inventory of every site, device, login and vendor, and with the nonprofit licensing, because that's where the money is. Then we fix the things that put client data at risk: shared passwords, old computers that can't be updated, and a backup nobody has tested.

After that your staff have one number and one email for everything, including the donor database, the phones and the printers. New hires and volunteers are set up before their first day. Departures are closed the same day, with access to client records revoked and a record kept.

Grants, E-Rate and the money you're leaving on the table.

Microsoft gives qualifying nonprofits free and deeply discounted licenses. Google does the same. TechSoup discounts hardware and software, and E-Rate funds connectivity for eligible education programs. Most organizations we meet are using some of this and paying full price for the rest.

We set it all up, keep the eligibility paperwork current, and show the savings on the quarterly review. For a Los Angeles family-services nonprofit with dozens of program sites, grants and E-Rate funding paid for replacing aging systems across every site.
