IT support for education and not-for-profit organisations

IT for education & not-for-profit

Not-for-profits and small education providers often run on a mix of donated laptops, free accounts and goodwill. A board member set up the email years ago, volunteers share a login, and nobody is quite sure which licences the organisation is entitled to under nonprofit or education programmes. It keeps going, but it leaves gaps that are hard to see until something is lost. Often it is a departing volunteer's laptop, an old email account nobody can sign in to, or a funder's report that has to be rebuilt from scratch.

These organisations also hold sensitive information: details of children and families, client case notes, donor records and bank details. The Privacy Act 2020 applies regardless of size or charitable status, and funders increasingly ask how information is protected. Registered charities also report to Charities Services each year, so financial records need to be complete and kept safely. Early learning centres and training providers also report to government agencies and must keep learner and enrolment records accurately for set periods.

Office IT supports charities, trusts, community organisations, early learning centres, private training establishments and tutoring providers with three to seventy-five staff. We help you claim the nonprofit and education pricing you are eligible for, set up proper accounts for staff and volunteers, protect personal information and keep spending predictable. We are straightforward about what is worth spending on and what can wait, and we put recommendations in writing so they can go to your board or funders alongside a budget.
