Your Trusted IT Partner for Nonprofit Organizations
At Connectability, know that you want to focus on your mission and make a meaningful impact in your community.
To do that, you need reliable IT systems, secure access to program data, and proactive technology support from experts who understand the unique challenges nonprofits face—whether it’s protecting sensitive information, preventing cyberattacks on limited budgets, or ensuring uninterrupted access to critical fundraising and management platforms.
The problem is, unresponsive IT providers, network downtime, and increasing cybersecurity threats make it harder to serve your community effectively. Data breaches, compliance issues, and technology failures can jeopardize trust, disrupt essential programs, and divert valuable resources away from your mission.
We believe you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your IT provider will respond promptly when a system goes down, if your data is protected against breaches and disasters, or whether outdated technology is slowing down your fundraising, volunteer coordination, or service delivery.
At Connectability, we understand the importance of nonprofit work. That’s why we’ve spent the last 30 years developing IT solutions specifically designed to protect organizations like yours. Our services help you protect sensitive donor and financial data, defend against cyber threats, and ensure your fundraising platforms, communication tools, and operational systems run smoothly – all with reliable support and guaranteed response times.

The Critical Role of IT in Nonprofit Organizations
Enhancing Operational Efficiency
Effective IT management streamlines internal processes, allowing nonprofits to allocate more resources directly toward their missions. By automating tasks and improving data management, organizations can reduce administrative overhead and focus on service delivery. For instance, cloud-based financial systems can automate complex tasks, freeing up time for mission-critical activities.
Strengthening Data Security and Compliance
Nonprofits handle sensitive information, including donor details and financial records. Robust IT infrastructure is essential to protect this data from breaches and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Despite the importance, only 40% of nonprofits provide regular cybersecurity training for their staff, highlighting a significant area for improvement.
Ensuring Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Nonprofits rely on uninterrupted access to critical systems like donor databases, financial records, and communication tools. IT disruptions—whether from cyberattacks, hardware failures, or natural disasters—can severely impact operations. According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach in the nonprofit sector is $2.6 million, making proactive disaster recovery planning essential for mission continuity. Reliable IT services help nonprofits implement data backup, secure cloud solutions, and rapid recovery strategies to prevent costly downtime.
Preventing Cyber Threats Targeting Nonprofits
Nonprofits are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals due to their valuable donor and financial data, often paired with limited cybersecurity resources. In fact, 71% of nonprofit organizations reported experiencing at lease one cybersecurity incident in 2022, and yet 80% nonprofits don’t have policies in place for responding to cybersecurity threats. A robust IT security strategy—including endpoint protection, network monitoring, and regular security updates—helps safeguard sensitive data, maintain donor trust, and prevent costly breaches.

What if our nonprofit already has an existing IT provider?
If you already have an IT provider but feel you’re not receiving the level of service or security you need, we can offer a complimentary risk assessment to identify any gaps in your current system. We’ll provide a detailed report on areas that may need improvement and work with your team to enhance your technology infrastructure without disruption.
