What we do

Practical help, built for small and community-based organisations

This isn’t IT support only. It’s technology, hardware, AI and a credible online presence — set up properly, so you look professional, work faster and earn donor trust.

Nonprofit software benefits

We check what you qualify for — Microsoft 365 Nonprofit, Google for Nonprofits, TechSoup and more — and help you apply.

Professional email & collaboration

Domain-based email, shared mailboxes, cloud storage, calendars and meetings on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

AI quick solutions

Donor letters, grant drafts, policies, reports, forms and dashboards — created fast and responsibly, with human review.

Website & hosting

A credible online presence: domain guidance, DNS setup, hosting and content updates. For advanced websites, branding or marketing, we refer to our partner Evolvea Digital.

Managed environment support

Once your software benefits are active and initial training is done, we help manage your environment as-needed — users, access, DNS, security settings, new forms and updates.

Hardware supply, rental & support

Desktops, laptops, servers, networking and accessories at competitive nonprofit rates — plus laptop, accessory and peripheral rental for any duration, from a few hours to ongoing.

Compliance, POPIA & cybersecurity Coming soon

Readiness, documentation, training and audit preparation — launching soon.

Software benefits

Microsoft 365 Nonprofit & Google for Nonprofits

Both programmes are strong, and they serve slightly different needs. We usually recommend applying for both where eligible, then running one as your main day-to-day platform.

Choose Microsoft 365 when

You live in Office & want room to grow

  • The team works heavily in Word, Excel and PowerPoint
  • You need Teams meetings and SharePoint libraries
  • Power BI dashboards and Power Automate are useful
  • You may grow into Power Platform or Azure later

Choose Google Workspace when

You want simple, browser-first collaboration

  • Volunteers already know Gmail, Docs and Drive
  • You need Google Forms quickly
  • Google Ad Grants and the YouTube Nonprofit Program add value
  • Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud tools add value — e.g. mapping cleanup sites for donors and reports
Our recommendation
Start with one core platform, but apply for both nonprofit programmes where eligible — so you unlock extras like the YouTube Nonprofit Program, Canva Nonprofit, Adobe for Nonprofits and more when you need them.

Professional email

Move from a personal Gmail to info@yourorganisation.org.za

A domain address is one of the fastest credibility upgrades a nonprofit can make. Free accounts and basic hosting webmail quietly hold you back.

Credibility

Donors trust you more

A domain address looks legitimate to donors, government, schools and companies — and reduces fraud worries on payment requests.

Continuity

You don’t lose access

Free accounts tied to one volunteer’s phone can vanish when they leave. Domain email keeps ownership with the organisation.

Capability

Real collaboration & security

POP/IMAP webmail scatters mail across devices with weak security. A proper suite adds storage, meetings, forms and MFA.

Hardware supply, rental & support

Desktops, laptops, servers & accessories at nonprofit-friendly rates

Good systems still need good devices. We supply business-grade hardware — desktops, laptops, servers, networking gear and accessories — at competitive rates for nonprofits, NPCs and community organisations, sourced through our ICT distribution partners. Laptops, accessories and peripherals are also available to rent for any duration you need.

Buy outright

Own the equipment, lowest cost over time

  • New and refurbished desktops, laptops & servers
  • Monitors, keyboards, mice, docking stations & accessories
  • Networking gear — routers, switches, access points
  • Bulk / volume pricing for multi-device rollouts

Rent for any duration

Laptops, accessories & peripherals, hired for as long as you need

  • From a few hours or a single day, to weeks or ongoing monthly rental
  • Laptops, monitors, docking stations, keyboards, mice & other peripherals
  • Ideal for short-term projects, events, training days or new programmes
  • Scale the number of devices up or down as your needs change

Procurement guidance

We help you specify the right device for the job and put together a clear, comparable quote — no guesswork or over-buying.

Setup & asset tagging

Devices arrive configured, accounts connected and tagged, so they’re ready to use and easy to track on day one.

Ongoing hardware support

Troubleshooting, repairs and warranty handling for hardware bought or rented through us — so a broken laptop doesn’t stall your work.

Right-sized for your budget
Tell us your headcount, budget and what the equipment is for, and we’ll put together a straightforward quote — mixing new and refurbished, purchase and rental, across as many or as few devices as you need, for whatever period you need them.

AI quick solutions

Useful things, ready quickly

NPOs need practical outputs, not long reports. We produce these fast and affordably — each one solving a real, everyday problem.

Fundraising & donors

Donor thank-you letters Donation requests Sponsorship proposals Grant drafts Donor database

Volunteers & safety

Onboarding packs Code of conduct Registration forms Cleanup event plans Risk assessments Incident forms

Governance & reporting

Meeting minutes Before/after reports Social media calendars Newsletters Policy templates Dashboards
Responsible by default
AI supports human judgement — it doesn’t replace it. We give every organisation a simple acceptable-use guide and a “do not paste this into AI” checklist, so donor, child and financial information stays protected.

Coming soon

ISO, POPIA & cybersecurity readiness

This is a planned service area, launching soon. When live, we’ll help you become audit-ready from start to finish, including during the external audit. Certification audits are always performed by independent certification bodies; we prepare you, we don’t certify you.

Operations, data & safety

  • Cybersecurity & POPIA / data-protection readiness
  • Governance, quality & service-delivery readiness
  • Volunteer health & safety / fieldwork readiness
  • Risk, continuity & resilience readiness

Impact, community & responsibility

  • Environmental impact readiness (cleanups & conservation)
  • Sustainable communities readiness
  • Sustainable events readiness
  • Ethics, sustainable procurement & responsible AI

Simple, affordable pricing

Fixed once-off fees — no open-ended hourly billing

Nonprofits need cost certainty. Every project or request has a clear scope, deliverable and price. An optional low-cost care plan is available if you’d like us to manage your environment.

Free No charge

  • Initial guidance call
  • Eligibility explanation
  • Direction on Microsoft / Google / TechSoup
  • Help applying for software benefits
