Nonprofits get asked to do the most with the least, and technology is usually where that tension shows first. Aging computers, an accidental techie on staff, donor data that must be protected, and a board that needs confidence the organization is not one ransomware email away from a crisis. Electric Software has served Michigan nonprofits for years, and we built our model around exactly these realities.
Mission-first IT management
- Flat, predictable costs that fit grant cycles and board budgets, no meter running on every call
- Nonprofit licensing we help you claim the Microsoft nonprofit discounts and donated licensing many organizations never realize they qualify for
- Donor and client data protection security, backups, and access controls treated with the seriousness your supporters expect
- Help for every staff member, including the part-timers and volunteers commercial providers ignore
- An honest technology roadmap so replacements are planned, not emergencies
Why nonprofits stay with us
One nonprofit leader told us the biggest benefit is not having to maintain in-house expertise for every technical challenge, they get specialized knowledge exactly when needed, without the cost of hiring it. Another values simply not having to disrupt her day to manage IT work: she points our technician at the problem and gets her time back.
That is the goal: technology that supports the mission instead of competing with it for attention and money.

Common questions
Do you offer nonprofit pricing?
Our pricing is flat and sized to your actual environment, and we actively help nonprofits claim Microsoft nonprofit licensing discounts and donations, which often save more than any service discount would.
Can you help us protect donor data?
Yes. Donor and client records are among the most sensitive data any organization holds. We implement layered security, encrypted backups stored in our Lansing data center, and access controls, and we explain it all in plain language your board can understand.
Our budget is genuinely tight. Where do we start?
Start with the free IT check. It costs nothing and produces a prioritized list, so limited dollars go to the highest-risk gaps first. We would rather fix the two things that matter than sell you ten.
Do you understand grant-funded budgeting?
Yes. Many of our nonprofit clients budget by grant cycle and fiscal year. Flat monthly costs, planned replacements, and written technology roadmaps make technology a line item you can defend in a grant application or board meeting.
Technology, managed by people.
The real McCoy: real oversight, real understanding, real answers. Start with a free IT and security check.
