Nonprofit technology

A nonprofit technology consultant for Vancouver Island that does the work, not just the report.

Most tech consultants sell you advice by the hour, then leave the building to your staff. We're the opposite. One BC team, run by people who sit on nonprofit boards, who take the whole tech side off your plate: your website, your accessibility, your software bill, your inbox, and your grants. Fixed scope, flat price, no meter running.

What does a nonprofit technology consultant actually do?

In theory, they help you make good technology decisions. In practice, most sell you a strategy document and an hourly rate, and the real work still lands on your team. We do it differently. We’re a BC team that runs nonprofits ourselves, and we take the work on directly: building the website, fixing the accessibility, cutting the software bill, handling the inbox, writing the grants. One partner for the whole tech side of your organization, at a flat price you agree to up front. For small nonprofits on Vancouver Island, or anywhere in Canada.

What you can hand off

One consultant, the whole tech side of your nonprofit

A consultant usually picks one problem and bills you for advice on it. We take the actual work, across everything a small nonprofit's technology throws at you. Here's what you can hand over, and where each piece goes.

Just need a website? There’s a dedicated page for nonprofit website design on Vancouver Island. Chasing funding too? Here’s where BC nonprofits actually find grant money.

Why work with us

Not a firm you brief. A partner who's run one.

You're not too small to matter here. The people you'd work with serve on nonprofit boards and run nonprofits, so we already understand your budget, your funders, and the constraints you work under.

We've sat in your chair

The people you'd be working with sit on nonprofit boards and run nonprofits. We've worked to the same tight budgets and filed the same grant reports, so the advice isn't from outside your world, it's from inside your constraints.

We do the work, not a deck

A consultant usually hands you a strategy document and an invoice, and the actual building still lands on your staff. You don't get a report to implement here. You get the website built, the audit done, the grant submitted.

No hourly meter

Each service is a flat or fixed-scope price you agree to before we start. Nobody's clock is running while you email us a question, and there's no retainer you have to defend to the board every year.

Remote, so it's affordable and Island-wide

Everything runs over email and a few short calls on your schedule. No travel to bill back to you, which keeps the price down and works exactly the same in Port Alberni, in Victoria, or across the country.

Where we work

Home base BC, working across the Island and beyond

We're based in British Columbia and everything is delivered remotely, so the Island is home turf but never a limit. Nonprofits we support are spread across:

Somewhere else in Canada? That’s fine too, the work is remote either way.

Common questions

What EDs usually ask before hiring one

What's the difference between a nonprofit technology consultant and an IT support company?

IT support mostly keeps what you already have running: passwords, hardware, the thing that broke this morning. A technology consultant decides what you should be running in the first place, and here we build it too. Website, accessibility, software choices, email, grants, all from a nonprofit's point of view. There's some overlap, but it's a different job.

Do you only work with nonprofits on Vancouver Island?

No. We're a BC team and the Island is home turf, so it's where a lot of our work and our case studies are. But everything is delivered remotely, over email and short calls, so we work with small nonprofits anywhere in Canada exactly the same way.

How are you different from a big consulting firm?

Two things. We've actually run nonprofits, so we're not guessing at your constraints. And we do the work instead of handing you a strategy document to carry out yourself. No hourly meter, no enterprise software you don't need, no polished plan that sits in a drawer.

We don't really know what we need. Can you still help?

Yes, that's the normal starting point. Book a free call, tell us what's actually frustrating you, and we'll tell you which piece to start with, or that you don't need us yet. We'd rather point you at a free tool than sell you something that won't help.

Do you charge by the hour?

Almost never. Each service is a flat or fixed-scope price you agree to before any work starts. The one exception is urgent website changes outside the quarterly update cycle, billed hourly at a rate you see up front. No open-ended clock.

We're a really small organization. Are we too small for a consultant?

You're exactly who this is for. Everything is priced and scoped for small nonprofit budgets, and the more stretched your team is, the more taking the tech off your plate is worth. Being small isn't a reason to wait, it's the reason this exists.

Most nonprofit tech consultants leave you with a to-do list. We leave you with it done.

Book a free call. Tell us what's frustrating you, and we'll tell you honestly which piece to start with, or that you don't need us yet. Flat price, no hourly meter, no strategy deck to implement on your own.
