Benefits across your organization
Staff, leadership and donors each see a different part of Northwind’s work.
Staff and volunteers
Staff and volunteers call one help desk for any IT problem. Northwind sets up their accounts when they join and closes them when they leave.
Executive directors and boards
Northwind keeps the IT budget and security policies current for board review. Directors can see what IT costs and how data is protected at any time.
Donors and funders
Northwind limits who can open your donor database and keeps it backed up. When a donor asks how their information is protected, you have a clear answer.

Does Northwind offer nonprofit IT services at a reduced rate?
Yes. Nonprofits get the full managed IT service at a reduced rate. The rate depends on your organization and the work, and we set it with you during a consultation.
Can you move us to nonprofit pricing for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
We can. Northwind confirms your eligibility, moves your staff over and manages the licenses from there.
Do you manage donor databases?
Northwind supports any donor database, including Salesforce Nonprofit and Bloomerang. We manage access and backups, and remove access when staff or volunteers leave.
Can you document our IT for funders and insurers?
Yes. We keep written policies covering access, backups and security. Your board, funders and insurers can review them whenever they ask.
Does Northwind provide non-profit IT services outside Boise?
We work everywhere. Nonprofits outside Boise get the same support, remotely and on site.
What are nonprofit IT services?
Nonprofit IT services are managed IT services built around how charitable organizations are funded and run. On top of the standard help desk, security and backup, Northwind handles nonprofit licensing, donor databases and documentation for funders.
