Technology Services for Nonprofits

Scope of work

What We Deliver

01

Google Workspace & Microsoft 365 Nonprofit Setup

Maximize donated and discounted technology from day one. Google for Nonprofits offers free Workspace licenses. Microsoft 365 Nonprofit provides significant discounts. We help you choose the right platform and implement it properly, based on your team's needs, not our commissions.

  • Google for Nonprofits application and setup
  • Microsoft 365 Nonprofit licensing and configuration
  • Platform comparison based on your team's needs (not our commissions)
  • Email migration and user training
  • Ongoing administration and optimization
02

Compliance on a Budget

Many nonprofits handle sensitive data, healthcare records, educational information, donor financials, but lack the budgets of for-profit compliance programs. We make compliance accessible through phased implementation plans that match your funding reality.

  • HIPAA compliance for healthcare nonprofits
  • Data protection policies and procedures
  • Grant compliance documentation
  • Donor data security and PCI considerations
  • Phased implementation plans that match your budget
03

Cloud Infrastructure for Nonprofits

Major cloud providers offer substantial credits for qualifying nonprofits, often thousands of dollars annually. We help you apply for those credits, design infrastructure that fits your mission, and keep costs lean as you grow.

  • Cloud credit application and management
  • Infrastructure design optimized for nonprofit workloads
  • Cost optimization and monitoring
  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Scalability planning for grant-funded growth
04

Grant-Compliant IT Management

Federal and state grants often include IT requirements that nonprofits struggle to meet with limited technical staff. We help you build grant-ready technology infrastructure and documentation that satisfies funder expectations.

  • Grant requirement analysis and compliance mapping
  • IT infrastructure aligned to funder expectations
  • Documentation and reporting systems
  • Asset management and tracking
  • Audit preparation for grant reviews
05

Cybersecurity for Resource-Constrained Organizations

Nonprofits are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals who recognize that mission-driven organizations often lack security resources. We deliver right-sized security that protects your mission, your donors, and your beneficiaries without breaking your budget.

  • Security posture assessment at nonprofit-friendly pricing
  • Essential security controls implementation
  • Staff security awareness training
  • Incident response planning
  • Donor and beneficiary data protection

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should a nonprofit spend on IT?
Industry guidance suggests 3-5% of your total operating budget for technology. Many nonprofits spend less than 1%, which creates risk and inefficiency. SBK helps you invest strategically within your constraints, prioritizing the areas that protect your mission and maximize the impact of every dollar.
Can nonprofits get free or discounted technology?
Yes. Google for Nonprofits provides free Google Workspace licenses. Microsoft 365 Nonprofit offers deeply discounted or donated licenses. TechSoup distributes donated and discounted software from major vendors. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all offer nonprofit cloud credit programs worth thousands annually. We help you identify and apply for every program you qualify for.
Do nonprofits need cybersecurity?
Absolutely. Nonprofits are increasingly targeted because attackers know these organizations often have weaker defenses. You handle sensitive donor information, beneficiary data, and financial records. A breach can damage trust, violate grant compliance, and disrupt the communities you serve. Right-sized security is not a luxury, it is a responsibility.
How do we meet grant IT requirements on a limited budget?
We take a phased approach that focuses compliance investment on the highest-risk areas first. By using donated technology, nonprofit cloud credits, and a prioritized implementation plan, we help you meet funder expectations without overspending. Many grant-required controls also strengthen your overall security posture.
What's the difference between SBK and other IT providers for nonprofits?
Most IT providers for nonprofits also sell products, hardware, software, managed services subscriptions. That creates a conflict of interest. SBK is vendor-neutral with zero product sales, zero commissions, and zero referral fees. We provide accessible pricing specifically for mission-driven organizations, and our recommendations serve your mission, not our margins.
