IT Support for Non-Profits & Charities

Non-profits get Microsoft licensing at a discount or free through the non-profit grant programme, and almost nobody claims the full entitlement or configures what they do claim. Meanwhile the donor database holds exactly the kind of personal and financial data that carries real obligations. Ontario's Bill 194 amended FIPPA with privacy impact assessment and breach notification duties that took effect on 1 July 2025, and while those duties bind the public institution rather than you, organisations that hold funding agreements with one are already seeing the requirements written into contracts.

What actually goes wrong in this sector

  • Microsoft non-profit licensing entitlements unclaimed or misconfigured
  • Donor and beneficiary data with genuine privacy obligations and no controls
  • Bill 194 FIPPA requirements arriving through funder and public-sector contracts
  • A board that requires evidence of prudent risk management
  • Volunteers and part-time staff sharing logins
  • A budget where every dollar spent on IT is a dollar off programme delivery
