IT Support for Charities

For many years, non-profit organisations have focused on in-person interactions to achieve their goals. In an increasingly digital world, charities now need to incorporate powerful IT into their operations or risk being left behind.

Technology supports the vital work that charities do. The pandemic has highlighted the ever-greater need for online fundraising, replacing physical means of raising money with safer alternatives. AAG are experts at helping charities navigate this changing technological landscape. From upgraded hardware to a bespoke IT strategy, we can provide cost-effective IT solutions so your charity can continue its important work.

A security-first approach

We understand that charities face increased scrutiny and regulation over how they spend their money. This can impact the level of control they have over their IT.

Investing in robust cyber security should be a priority for every organisation. Data security and protecting personal and business information are our top concerns.

We carry the Cyber Essentials Plus certification. This government-backed scheme demonstrates our commitment to protect charities from a range of common cyber attacks. For non-profits working with the NHS, we have completed the Data Security and Protection Toolkit assessment. This toolkit shows our engineers are trained for NHS-specific problems and handling sensitive information.

Digital Strategy

Charities need a strong online presence to reach new audiences and operate effectively. The issue with going digital is that many charities have no strategy to take advantage of technology.

AAG works closely with you to help your charity navigate a digital future. For instance, fundraising events are often the only viable collection method for charities. In-person fundraising is difficult at present, so hosting online events should be a priority. We can suggest IT solutions for software and infrastructure that helps your charity reach potential donors and volunteers online.

Hardware Services

As technology improves, charities may need to overhaul their hardware to continue providing effective support.

Charities are notoriously paper-based organisations – from mailshots and annual reports to record keeping. They require hardware that supports this operation. Our Managed Print Services can provide a cost-effective solution for bulk printing leaflets and campaign information.

For those charities looking to undertake large-scale infrastructure upgrades, we offer Hardware as a Service. This pay-monthly service allows you to upgrade your charity’s IT without the costly investment. Our team works closely with you to determine a project timeline that supports your requirements and budget.

Cloud Services

Cloud services can provide a cheaper alternative to traditional on-site IT infrastructure. We offer a range of solutions to support your charity’s operations.

Infrastructure as a service removes the need for physical infrastructure. Your charity can add or remove resources as required, and you only pay for the services needed. Volunteers working out of the office benefit from remote access to essential files and applications. Data can be securely transferred over our network, promoting greater collaboration between charities and their partners.

As these services are managed remotely, charities can operate more efficiently and focus on their core business. These services become invaluable when working in disaster zones or rural locations with poor connectivity. We can advise your charity on the best cloud solution for your needs.

Helping Not for Profit Organisations Focus on What’s Most Important

Many of the charities we work with have limited resources, and their time is valuable. It should not be spent managing IT issues.

We minimise disruption to your charity by rapidly installing or upgrading any systems. We then handle the administrative IT work so your staff are available to help your service users. Our site audit tells both you and us what would be cost-effective and easily adaptable to fit your budget. And we offer our 24/7 server support as standard so we can keep you up and running day and night.

FAQ

Do Charities Need IT Support?

Robust IT Support is critical so charities can maintain efficient operations. While charities may be adopting more digital ways of working, many will not have an IT strategy that allows for a good online presence.

Charities need guidance to develop their IT strategy and support to ensure they get the most out of their systems. Cloud solutions can provide a lower cost, flexible alternative to on-site storage that can be adapted as required. Hardware services allow charities to keep old systems in use, extend the life of assets or upgrade components.

How Can Technology Improve Connections For Non-Profit Organisations?

Creative connections – Digital support offers a unique opportunity for creating emotional connections. Sharing music, watching a video, or collaborative drawing builds relationships between a charity and its audience.

Chatbots – Some charities have been using chatbots on their websites to ‘speak’ to customers. This technology removes the need for a volunteer to monitor forums and actively respond to queries. Chatbots are a cost-effective solution to maintain a large volume of chats and free up resources.

Virtual reality (VR) – Connections with the world outside our office spaces is changing. VR allows charities to take their audience on an experience without leaving their armchairs. Charities such as Save the Children have used VR technology to enable people worldwide to watch events.

What is the Benefit of Managed IT Support for Charities?

Charities have regulations that restrict their expenditure. Managed IT support can be a cost-effective way of freeing up resources for investment in other areas. An IT partner can manage the day-to-day running of essential systems while providing additional support for any upgrades the charity may need in the future.
