IT support for non-profits, schools and faith organizations
Your mission, not your IT.
Cosaint Technologies has specialized in the unique needs of non-profits for over 20 years, representing hundreds of leading West and Central Florida organizations. Non-profits need the same technology advice as large enterprises, without a full-time technology executive on staff.
The donor list, and the budget
Lock the donor list. Plan the refresh before it plans you.
Two things a board asks about: who can get at the donor data, and why every computer died in the same year.

Tight-budget planner · Example: 18 PCsExample plan
Six PCs, the oldest first.
The ones that hold the donor database and payroll go first. Your vCIO brings the plan, and the security picture, to the board meeting.
Six more, on the same line in the budget.
No surprise year. The refresh is planned before the budget meeting, so it never competes with the mission on short notice.
The last six. Then the cycle starts again.
Old PCs kept running because replacing them was never planned are how a non-profit ends up with an unpatched machine on the donor database. Not here.
Example plan for a sample organization with 18 PCs. We build yours with you, around your grant cycle and your board.
Where a non-profit breaks first
The donor list is the most valuable thing in the building.
The donor list, the grant files and payroll. A breach exposes donors and can cost you the grant deadline, and the budget is still a non-profit budget.
- A "secure" donor link that asks for a password.
- Volunteers on shared logins and personal laptops.
- A board asking about cybersecurity, with nobody to answer.
- Old PCs kept running because replacing them was never planned.
A technology leader for the board meeting
Non-profits need the same technology advice as large enterprises, without a full-time technology executive. A vCIO plans the budget and the refresh, and answers the board.
