Service
Nonprofit Technology Consulting
You didn’t take this job to referee software vendors. But here you are: five disconnected systems, a board asking about AI, staff working around tools instead of with them — and every “expert” you talk to happens to sell the thing they recommend.
We’re a vendor-neutral nonprofit technology consultant. We sell no software, take no commissions, and answer one question: what technology decisions will actually move your mission forward?
How We Help
Consulting that meets you where you are
Technology Assessment
A structured 2–4 week evaluation of your systems, tools, and workflows. You get a clear picture of what’s working, what’s wasting money, and a prioritized roadmap you can act on immediately — with us or without us.
AI Readiness & Integration
Practical answers to the question every board is asking. We identify where AI genuinely saves your team time — and where it’s hype you can safely ignore.
Strategic Technology Projects
Selecting a CRM, untangling data silos, planning a migration, or modernizing your website — expert guidance for the decisions too big to guess on.
Fractional CTO Partnership
Ongoing executive-level technology leadership on a month-to-month retainer. Learn about our Fractional CTO for Nonprofits.
What You Get

- A clear, honest picture of your current technology landscape
- Prioritized recommendations ranked by mission impact, not vendor commissions
- A practical roadmap your team can execute — with or without us

Common Questions
Nonprofit technology consulting, answered
What does a nonprofit technology consultant do?
A nonprofit technology consultant helps your organization make confident technology decisions: assessing your current systems, identifying what's wasting money or staff time, recommending the right tools for your budget, and planning implementations so they actually stick. Unlike general IT support, the focus is strategy and fit — making technology serve the mission rather than the other way around.
How much does nonprofit technology consulting cost?
Our engagements are scoped to nonprofit budgets. A Technology Assessment is a fixed-scope project that typically takes 2–4 weeks. Ongoing fractional CTO partnerships run month-to-month with no long-term lock-in. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute Discovery Session, so you'll know the exact cost before committing to anything.
Are you tied to specific software vendors?
No — and this matters more than most nonprofits realize. Many 'consultants' are implementation partners for a specific platform, which means every problem looks like a reason to buy that platform. We sell no software and take no referral commissions, so our recommendations are based on what actually fits your organization and budget.
Do you work with churches and faith-based organizations?
Yes. Churches are a significant part of our practice — including Google Workspace setup, volunteer-proof file systems, and technology planning that survives leadership transitions. See our guide to Google Workspace for churches for a sense of how we think about church technology.
Do you only work with organizations in Michigan?
No. We're based in Grand Rapids and love working with West Michigan organizations in person, but most consulting work happens remotely and we serve nonprofits nationwide. Assessments, strategy sessions, and fractional CTO partnerships all work well over video.
How is this different from hiring IT staff?
IT staff keep systems running; a technology consultant decides which systems you should be running in the first place. Most small nonprofits need strategic guidance a few hours a month far more than they need a full-time hire. If you do eventually need staff, we'll help you hire well — we have no incentive to keep you dependent.
