Technology Roadmapping: We help help non-profits create a clear, phased plan for future technology investments and upgrades. This roadmap aligns technology decisions with strategic goals, mission priorities, and realistic budget constraints over time.

IT Budgeting Guidance & Discount Leverage: Providing expert assistance in developing realistic IT budgets is key. This includes identifying costs (upfront and ongoing) and actively helping the non-profit access and leverage specific discounts and grants available to the sector (e.g., through TechSoup, Microsoft Philanthropies, Google for Nonprofits).

Vendor Selection and Management: Non-profits often lack the internal expertise to navigate the complex technology vendor landscape. Consultants assist in evaluating, selecting, negotiating with, and managing relationships with hardware, software, and service providers to ensure compatibility, fair pricing, and appropriate service levels.

Data Management, Security, and Compliance are Critical: Strategy must include robust plans for managing sensitive donor/beneficiary data, ensuring cybersecurity, protecting privacy (meeting regulations like PIPEDA in Canada), and securely

Focus on Operational Efficiency and Automation: We identify opportunities to use technology to automate repetitive tasks (donation processing, reporting), streamline workflows, and improve internal collaboration frees up valuable staff and volunteer time for mission-focused activities.

Enhancing Stakeholder Engagement: Optimizing tools like CRM systems, online donation platforms, email marketing, and reporting dashboards helps non-profits connect more effectively with donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, and board members.

Capacity Building and Change Management: Effective consulting goes beyond recommendations to include training, staff skill development, and support for adopting new technologies and processes, thereby building the non-profit's internal digital capacity for the long haul.
