IT for nonprofits
More of your budget for the mission, less for the server closet.
Nonprofits need IT that protects donor trust and satisfies grant makers without eating the budget. Talos plans managed IT around what you can spend and the programs that stretch it further.
The short answer
Talos provides managed IT for nonprofits on budget-conscious plans. We help you use Microsoft and Google nonprofit licensing programs, secure your donor CRM, payment processing and databases, provide the documented security policies and audit trails grant makers ask for, and automate account setup and removal so staff and volunteers get access quickly and lose it the day they leave.
Who it's for
The IT problems nonprofits run into
Our team has supported Houston nonprofits since 2014. These are the challenges that come up most.
Tight IT budgets
Every dollar on IT is a dollar not spent on the mission, yet underspending leads to slow systems, security gaps and worn-out staff.
Donor data protection
Donor records, payment details and personal information must be protected, and a breach costs the trust your work depends on.
Grant requirements
Many grants ask for documented data security, audit trails and reporting, and gaps can put funding at risk.
Staff and volunteer turnover
Constant arrivals and departures mean onboarding work and old accounts that should have been closed months ago.
