What's included

What IT support for nonprofits includes

The full managed stack of help desk, security, systems, and strategy. Plus the six things a nonprofit should never have to explain to its IT provider.

Microsoft 365 nonprofit grants

We check your eligibility, set up the tenant, and run it for you. Qualifying 501(c)(3) groups get up to 10 free Business Premium licenses through the Microsoft Tech for Social Impact program, plus a discount on the rest.

TechSoup procurement

We buy through TechSoup wherever the catalog applies. Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Bitdefender, and 100+ other vendors at nonprofit pricing. Knowing the rules is part of our job, not a referral.

Donor-data protection

Encryption at rest and in transit. Each person gets their own login, with no shared passwords. We watch your systems 24x7 and review CRM access every time someone leaves. Donor trust is something we run, not just talk about.

Board reporting

A short quarterly board pack from your IT strategist. It covers the roadmap, the budget, the risks, and your vendors. A board member can read it in ten minutes and defend the IT line without a translator.

Audit and compliance readiness

SOC 2, HIPAA where it applies, state donor-privacy laws, and funder clauses turned into controls that stay closed all year. Not patched the week before the auditor shows up.

AI for program delivery

AI agents that draft donor thank-yous, grant prep, and board reports. They sit on top of your IT, so staff hours go to the mission instead of the paperwork around it.

Sound familiar?

Where nonprofit IT actually breaks

These problems never show up on a ticket queue. They quietly cost a nonprofit a week of staff time every month.

Board reporting takes a week.

Three systems, two spreadsheets, and one staffer pulling it together by hand the night before. The board reads it on iPads while you fix typos.

Donor data is everyone's second job.

Duplicate records. Misspelled names on thank-you letters. Lapsed monthly givers still in the active appeal. The CRM drifts quarter by quarter.

Grant tech is held together with hope.

A Google Sheet, a Dropbox folder, a Slack channel, and a metrics file someone re-types at the end of every reporting period.

The audit finds the same five things.

Encryption, access reviews, vendor risk, backups, board-approved policies. The auditor flags it, the team fixes it, and a year later the next audit finds it again.

Turnover wipes out what you knew.

The ops director who knew where every shared password lived has left. The new hire starts from scratch. The IT notes are two years out of date.

Peak season is a fire drill.

Year-end giving, gala night, conference week, grant deadline. WiFi for 200 guests, a new laptop two days before the event, the DonorPerfect link that breaks at the worst moment.

Transparent nonprofit pricing

A real nonprofit discount, off real published bands

Most providers serving nonprofits hide pricing behind a quote wall. We publish ours.

The nonprofit math
Published IT Partnership band $150–$250 /user/mo
501(c)(3) discount 15–20% off
Your band $120–$212 /user/mo
M365 nonprofit grant Up to 10 free licenses
Contract terms Month-to-month

The Wellforce Complete IT Partnership is $150 to $250 per staff user per month. Verified 501(c)(3) groups get 15 to 20% off that band, which works out to $120 to $212 per user per month, depending on scope, complexity, and compliance needs. Trade associations and 501(c)(6) groups are priced at our standard commercial bands.

The discount is the smaller half of the savings. Microsoft 365 nonprofit grants and TechSoup buying often cut a nonprofit's software spend by thousands of dollars a year. Setting both up is part of standard onboarding, not a billable project. Your board sees one predictable monthly number, with no setup fee and month-to-month terms.

No setup fee on the IT Partnership. 60-day exit term. Cybersecurity, compliance, and AI agent work scoped on their own.

Works with your team

Already have an accidental techie? Keep them, and give them a bench.

Plenty of nonprofits have someone holding IT together. A solo IT manager, an ops director who absorbed the role, or the long-tenured staffer everyone calls first. We keep that person in the seat, with their knowledge and relationships intact, and put Wellforce behind them for everything that does not survive a vacation, a resignation, or a 2 a.m. security alert.

We take the 24x7 monitoring, the security stack, patching, escalation engineering, compliance evidence, and the vendor calls. Your person keeps the strategy seat and stops being the single point of failure. When they are out, or when they move on, your IT does not leave with them.

On top of the partnership

AI agents for the work nonprofits actually do

Donor stewardship, grant prep, and board reporting. Drafted by an AI agent, reviewed by your staff, sent in your voice.

Donor Engagement Agent

Drafts personal donor notes. First-gift thank-yous, monthly-giver renewals, lapsed-donor re-engagement. It pulls from your CRM, writes in your voice, and hands off to staff for review before anything sends.

Typical impact

Saves 8 to 12 hours a week of manual outreach

Grant Prep Agent

Reads the RFP, drafts the program narrative, fills in the budget template, and pulls metrics from your program data. Your staff stays in the seat. The agent does the first 60% of the work.

Typical impact

Cuts 20+ hours per grant submission

Board Prep Agent

Pulls financials from QuickBooks, program metrics from your tracker, and the donor pipeline from your CRM. Then it builds a board-ready summary each quarter. Your ED reviews and edits.

Typical impact

Saves a week of staff prep before each board meeting

The Wellforce AI Practice runs agents on top of the IT Partnership. Pricing is scoped per use case. See pricing for ranges, or browse the full agent catalog.

Audit-ready

Compliance posture that survives the audit

The same five findings come up audit after audit at most nonprofits. We close them once and keep them closed.

SOC 2

Type I and Type II readiness

For nonprofits that handle restricted data for funders, partners, or the federal government. We run the monitoring through SecureFrame or Drata, not just install it.

HIPAA

For health-adjacent nonprofits

Free clinics, behavioral health programs, harm-reduction groups, food-as-medicine programs. Risk assessment, access controls, BAA management, and a breach response plan.

Donor privacy

State-by-state compliance

CCPA, the New York Charitable Solicitation Act, and the patchwork of 47 state charitable registration rules. Donor records protected with the same controls we use for legal and healthcare clients.

IRS Form 990

Disclosure-ready document control

Document retention, access logging, version control on board minutes, and conflict-of-interest sign-offs. What you tell the IRS matches what your file system says.

Vendor risk

Annual third-party reviews

Your CRM vendor, payment processor, fundraising platform, and email tool each carry risk. We review SOC 2 reports, BAAs where they apply, breach clauses, and data residency every year.

Funder requirements

CMMC, FedRAMP, federal grant clauses

For nonprofits with federal contracts or pass-through funding. We turn contract clauses into real controls and join the auditor calls so your ED does not have to.

Questions

About IT support for nonprofits

How much does IT support cost for a nonprofit?
Across the industry, managed IT support for nonprofits usually runs $100 to $250 per staff user per month, depending on scope. Wellforce publishes its bands. The Complete IT Partnership is $150 to $250 per user per month, and verified 501(c)(3) groups get 15 to 20% off. Most nonprofits land between $120 and $212 per user per month. Microsoft 365 nonprofit grants (up to 10 free Business Premium licenses for eligible groups) and TechSoup procurement lower the software line on top of that. Full bands are public at /pricing, with no quote-only walls.
What does IT support for nonprofits include?
A complete nonprofit IT partnership covers help desk for staff and board members, 24x7 security monitoring, network and device management, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace care, donor CRM care, backup and disaster recovery, vendor management, compliance support (SOC 2, HIPAA, state donor-privacy laws), and quarterly IT strategy with board-ready reporting. At Wellforce it also includes Microsoft 365 nonprofit grant setup, TechSoup procurement, and optional AI agents for donor stewardship, grant prep, and board reporting.
Do you work with TechSoup?
Yes. TechSoup is the nonprofit technology marketplace. It is the channel for discounted and donated software from Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Bitdefender, Norton, and 100+ other vendors. Wellforce uses TechSoup pricing for client buying wherever it applies, including Microsoft 365 nonprofit grants, Adobe Creative Cloud nonprofit pricing, and Cisco Meraki nonprofit licensing. Knowing the catalog and the eligibility rules is part of the job.
Can you support our Microsoft 365 nonprofit grant?
Yes. This is part of standard onboarding. Eligible 501(c)(3) groups get up to 10 free Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses through the Microsoft Tech for Social Impact program, plus discounted pricing on more licenses. Wellforce handles the eligibility check, tenant setup, identity migration, security baseline, and staff onboarding. We also set up the M365 features nonprofits use most: Bookings for board scheduling, Forms for volunteer signups, SharePoint for document control, and Teams for distributed staff.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. The Wellforce IT Partnership has no setup fee and runs month-to-month with a 60-day exit term. If we stop earning the relationship, you can leave. Our Claude Implementation is a one-time flat fee with a fixed scope, and Managed Claude is optional and month-to-month. Both policies are published at /pricing.
Do you serve nonprofits outside Washington DC and Raleigh?
Yes. Help desk, cybersecurity, M365 care, and compliance work are all delivered remotely, so we support distributed and remote-first nonprofits anywhere in the US. On-site work like network buildouts, event-week support, and hardware refreshes is concentrated in the Washington DC metro (DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia) and the Raleigh-Durham Triangle. Many of our nonprofit clients are based in one of those metros with program staff spread across the country.
Do you support small nonprofits or only large ones?
Both. Wellforce works with grassroots groups of 3 to 5 staff and federated nonprofits of 200+ staff. The IT Partnership scales by user count, so a small group pays for what it uses without losing the full stack: IT strategy, 24x7 cybersecurity, and compliance discipline. A team that knows you well is what makes that math work.
Can you work alongside our existing IT staff or accidental techie?
Yes. This is the model where we work with your team, and it is common in the nonprofit world. If you have a solo IT manager, an operations director who absorbed IT, or a volunteer who keeps things running, Wellforce takes the 24x7 monitoring, security stack, patching, escalation engineering, and compliance evidence off their plate. They keep the institutional knowledge and the day-to-day relationships. They get a deep bench behind them instead of being the single point of failure.
How do you handle donor data security and privacy?
Donor data is protected with the same controls Wellforce uses for healthcare and legal clients: encryption at rest and in transit, identity-based access with no shared logins, least-privilege roles, 24x7 monitoring with endpoint protection on every device, phishing practice for staff, and access reviews tied to your offboarding process. State-specific donor privacy laws, like the California Consumer Privacy Act and the New York Charitable Solicitation Act, are reviewed as part of the compliance posture.
What's the difference between IT support and managed IT services?
Traditional IT support waits for something to break, then you call, a tech fixes it, and the meter runs. Managed IT services works ahead of problems. A partner watches your systems 24x7, stops most issues before you notice, ships updates and patches on schedule, and bills a flat monthly fee. For a nonprofit, the managed model means predictable costs the board can budget, fewer surprise outages during peak season, and a real partner instead of a number you call when something is on fire.
How do AI agents fit into IT support for a nonprofit?
The Wellforce AI Practice runs AI agents on top of the IT Partnership for a few high-value jobs: donor stewardship drafting, grant prep, board reporting, and member or beneficiary intake. Agents read from your existing systems (CRM, accounting, project tracker), draft the work, and hand off to staff for review and send. The model is simple. AI proposes, humans confirm. Staff stays in the seat while the agent does the routine work. Pricing is per use case. See /ai for the full practice.
