IT Services for Nonprofits
Your organization runs on donor trust, grant dollars, and a team that changes with the seasons. ACS delivers IT services for nonprofits built around all three: security that protects donor and client data, licensing help that captures every nonprofit discount you qualify for, and flat pricing a grant budget can actually plan around. Remote-first, nationwide.
Why nonprofits need a different IT partner
A generic IT shop prices for businesses and staffs for offices that never change. Nonprofits work differently.
Every dollar is mission money
Budgets are grant-funded and board-approved, so IT costs have to be predictable, defensible, and squeezed for value. That starts with claiming the nonprofit licensing discounts most organizations leave on the table.
Donor data is donor trust
Names, giving histories, and payment details are exactly what attackers target, and many nonprofits run without dedicated IT staff. A breach does not just cost money; it costs the confidence your next campaign depends on.
Volunteers and turnover multiply accounts
Staff, volunteers, interns, and board members come and go constantly. Without disciplined onboarding and offboarding, old accounts pile up as open doors into your systems.
What nonprofit IT support should cover
Everything your organization needs to stay secure, funded, and focused on the mission, under one partner.
Managed IT & 24/7 helpdesk
Monitoring, patching, and a responsive helpdesk for staff and volunteers alike, so nobody waits on a ticket to get back to the mission.
Cybersecurity
Endpoint protection, email and phishing defense, MFA, and dark-web monitoring, sized for organizations without an in-house security team.
Cloud & backup
Encrypted, immutable backups and secure cloud so a failed server or ransomware event never takes your donor database or case files with it.
Volunteer & staff account management
Fast, documented onboarding and same-day offboarding for staff, volunteers, and board members, with access tied to roles instead of memory.
PCI-aware donation systems
Donation pages and card handling built around PCI DSS expectations, keeping cardholder data with your payment processor and out of your own systems.
Grant-friendly flat pricing
Per-seat monthly pricing your board and funders can see coming, with reporting that makes the IT line item easy to explain.
Nonprofit licensing: stop paying commercial prices
Major vendors donate or deeply discount their products for verified nonprofits. We make sure you capture every dollar of it.
TechSoup validation & catalog
TechSoup verifies your 501(c)(3) status once and unlocks donated and discounted software and hardware from dozens of vendors. We handle the validation, the requests, and the renewals.
Microsoft 365 for nonprofits
Eligible nonprofits get Microsoft 365 Business Basic free for up to 300 users, with Business Premium and other plans at roughly 75% off. Microsoft retired its donated Business Premium grant in 2025, so we help you land on the right mix under the current terms.
Google for Nonprofits
Verified organizations get Google Workspace for Nonprofits free, with heavily discounted upgrades to Business Standard and Plus when you need more. We manage eligibility, setup, and security hardening.
An honest note: these are the vendors' programs, not ours, and their terms change. What we do is make sure you qualify, apply, configure the licenses securely, and re-check the terms at every renewal, so your organization is never overpaying for software a verified nonprofit gets free or at a fraction of the price.
Nonprofits that deliver health services
If your nonprofit provides behavioral health, counseling, community clinic, or other health services, HIPAA almost certainly applies to you the same way it applies to a private practice, and funders and partners increasingly ask for proof. This is where ACS started: we are a healthcare-first MSP, and our HIPAA compliance services cover risk assessments, safeguards, policies, and staff training. For organizations serving behavioral health populations, our behavioral health IT practice pairs that compliance work with support for the EHR and telehealth tools your clinicians use every day.
Getting started takes one call
No obligation, no jargon.
IT services for nonprofits: questions, answered
What do IT services for nonprofits include?
Managed helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, cloud and backup, account management for staff and volunteers, and nonprofit licensing management, all under one flat per-seat price. The goal is a full IT department for organizations that cannot justify hiring one.
Can you get us nonprofit discounts on Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes, if you are eligible. We handle TechSoup validation of your 501(c)(3) status, then set you up on the current programs: Microsoft 365 Business Basic is free for eligible nonprofits up to 300 users with deep discounts on higher plans, and Google Workspace for Nonprofits is free with discounted upgrades. We verify the current terms at signup and every renewal, because these programs do change.
How do you protect our donor data?
Layered controls: multi-factor authentication on every account, endpoint and email protection, encrypted and tested backups of your donor database, strict offboarding when staff and volunteers leave, and staff training, since most breaches start with a human, not a firewall. Donation payments stay with your PCI-compliant processor so card data never sits in your systems.
Our nonprofit provides health or behavioral health services. Does HIPAA apply to us?
Almost certainly yes. Nonprofit status does not exempt an organization from HIPAA; if you provide health services and transmit health information electronically, you are treated like any other covered entity. Healthcare is where ACS started, and our HIPAA compliance services and behavioral health IT practice cover the risk assessment, safeguards, and training funders ask about.
How much does IT support for a nonprofit cost?
Flat, predictable per-user monthly pricing, with no hourly break-fix surprises, and we typically offset part of the cost by moving you onto nonprofit licensing you were not claiming. See pricing or book a free assessment and we will scope it to your headcount and systems.
