Nonprofits face a unique technology challenge: you need reliable, secure systems to protect donor information and run operations efficiently, but your budget prioritizes programs over IT infrastructure. Every dollar spent on technology is a dollar not serving your mission.
Meanwhile, most managed IT providers either can't comprehend nonprofit budgets, or they treat small organizations as low-priority accounts. You're quoted the same rates as for-profit companies, locked into multi-year contracts, and given cookie-cutter solutions that don't fit how nonprofits actually operate.
RainCity Techworks understands nonprofit constraints because we work with community organizations across Pierce County. We know Microsoft offers nonprofit licensing at massive discounts, that grant requirements vary wildly, and that board members ask reasonable questions about technology spending. We're local, responsive, and we don't charge Seattle overhead for Tacoma service.
Your mission matters. Your technology should support it, not drain resources from it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help nonprofits manage IT costs?
We start by maximizing nonprofit discounts - particularly Microsoft 365 nonprofit licensing which can save thousands annually. We also leverage free tools where appropriate, right-size infrastructure to actual needs rather than theoretical maximums, and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Many nonprofits find that predictable monthly IT costs actually help with budget planning compared to emergency break-fix spending.
How do you protect donor information?
We implement role-based access controls so only authorized staff can view donor data, encrypt data both in storage and transit, configure secure file sharing for collaboration, enable audit logging for compliance, and help establish policies that satisfy board oversight requirements. We can also provide documentation for grant applications and funder audits that ask about data security practices.
Can you help us meet grant requirements for IT security?
Yes. We regularly help nonprofits document their IT security posture for grant applications and funder audits. This includes written security policies, system documentation, compliance assessments, and evidence of security controls. We understand that different grants have different requirements, and we can tailor documentation to what your specific funders need to see.
