Firstly, it’s important to understand that managed IT services drive success for nonprofits in multiple ways. According to a 2021 Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) study, 80% of nonprofits reported that technology is critical to their operations. Yet, many struggle with limited IT resources.
MSPs offer a proactive approach to address daily challenges, providing nonprofits with the stability, predictability, and efficiency they need to focus on their core mission.
Managed IT services drive success for nonprofits by providing cost-effective solutions. A 2020 CompTIA report found that 46% of organizations that use managed services have cut their annual IT costs by 25% or more. This saving allows nonprofits to allocate more resources to their core missions.
Furthermore, managed IT services drive success for nonprofits by strengthening their cybersecurity posture. The 2021 Nonprofit Cyber Incident Report revealed that 26% of nonprofits experienced a cyber-attack in the past year. MSPs offer robust security measures to protect sensitive donor and beneficiary data.
Additionally, managed IT services drive success for nonprofits by streamlining operations. A 2019 Salesforce Nonprofit Trends Report found that nonprofits using integrated technology solutions are 2.5 times more likely to report significant improvement in their ability to achieve their mission.
Predictable Processes for Enhanced Efficiency
Firstly, implementing standardized IT procedures reduces downtime and associated costs. This approach aligns with best practices recommended by the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network (NTEN) and should be the standard for all successful non-profit organizations.
Budget-Friendly Technology Planning
Moreover, proactive technology planning helps nonprofits avoid unexpected expenses. This strategy is supported by a 2020 NonProfit PRO study, which found that 54% of nonprofits struggle with technology budget constraints.
Personalized Support and Expertise
Additionally, our unique dedicated “pod” system ensures tailored support for each nonprofit client.

This personalized approach is crucial, as the 2020 Nonprofit Technology Staffing and Investments Report found that 64% of nonprofits lack formal IT strategies.
Proactive Communication and Technology Updates
Furthermore, an MSP keeps clients informed about technological advancements, aligning with the NTEN’s recommendation for nonprofits to stay current with technology trends ensuring that nonprofits always stay one step ahead. Whether it’s software updates, security patches, or emerging trends, a proactive approach to communication helps nonprofits adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Streamlined Onboarding and Offboarding Processes
Lastly, an efficient onboarding and offboarding processes minimize disruptions, addressing a key challenge identified in the 2021 Nonprofit HR Trends Report. A streamlined onboarding and offboarding process minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity. Ensuring a smooth transition for new hires and departing staff, so nonprofits can focus on their mission without worrying about IT disruptions.
MSPs can help nonprofits leverage cloud technologies, improving collaboration and accessibility. A 2021 TechSoup survey found that 64% of nonprofits use cloud-based solutions.
MSPs can implement data analytics tools, helping nonprofits make data-driven decisions. The 2020 Global NGO Technology Report revealed that only 47% of nonprofits regularly analyze their data.
MSPs can provide specialized software for grant management, addressing a critical need identified in the 2021 State of Grantseeking Report.
Implementing volunteer management systems can significantly improve nonprofit operations. A 2019 VolunteerPro study found that organizations using volunteer management software retain volunteers 23% longer.
MSPs can develop robust disaster recovery plans, ensuring nonprofits can continue operations during crises. This is crucial, as FEMA reports that 40% of businesses do not reopen after a disaster. It is imperative to have a plan in place to survive unexpected emergencies and natural disasters.
