Why Nonprofits Tech Guide exists

Nonprofits are asked to do a lot. There is always more to do than there are people or hours to do it, and the budget rarely keeps up with the need. In that environment, choosing the right technology should not feel like a second job.

But it often does. Most nonprofits do not have a dedicated IT team or an operations lead whose only focus is software. The people making technology decisions are the same people running programs, managing donors, writing grants, and coordinating volunteers. Researching, comparing, and choosing tools takes time they do not have.

Nonprofits Tech Guide exists to do that research so you do not have to. We organize and explain the technology choices that matter most to small and mid-sized organizations. Our goal is straightforward: help nonprofits make confident, practical decisions without the confusion, the overspending, or the hours lost to vendor comparisons.

Technology should reduce friction, not create more of it. When nonprofits spend less time managing tools, they have more time to do the work they care about. That is what we are here to support.
