Count on D-Best to handle the technology, so your team can stay focused on serving our community.
If technology is more of a hurdle than a tool, it’s time for a different kind of IT partner.
Whatever your mission looks like, whether it’s feeding families, supporting the arts, or building up the next generation, your time and your budget are precious. Nonprofits operate with tighter margins and higher stakes than most businesses. Technology should be helping the cause, not draining it.
When technology breaks down, it doesn’t just slow down your office. It affects the people you’re working to serve. Partner with D-Best for the kind of stable, secure foundation your organization needs to keep doing its work.
We think of IT as an investment that prevents the kind of expensive emergencies that nonprofits really can't absorb. A flat monthly model means no surprise repair bills and no debate about whether to call for help when something goes wrong. We also help you take advantage of nonprofit pricing on software (Microsoft 365, Adobe, and others) that can offset a meaningful portion of your IT costs.
Yes. Nonprofits often have lighter security than corporations of similar size, which makes them attractive targets. Attackers go after donor records, payment information, and personal data. We put layered protections in place so your donors' information and your organization's reputation stay protected.
Yes. We set up identity and access management so volunteers can be given limited, project-specific access, and that access can be cleanly revoked when their role wraps up. No lingering accounts, no shared passwords floating around.
Most general IT providers can handle a broken computer. But understanding the specific platforms nonprofits use (Blackbaud, Raiser's Edge, Salesforce NPSP, and others) and the compliance requirements that come with state and federal grants makes a real difference in how smoothly things run.
Business email compromise (BEC) is at the top of the list. Attackers use AI to impersonate board members, executive directors, or major donors, then trick staff into wiring funds or sharing sensitive donor lists. We use AI-powered email filtering and ongoing staff training to help your team spot these attempts before they cause damage.
Knowing requires testing. We perform regular restore tests so we can prove the backups are working, not just assume it. If a server fails or the office is damaged by flood or fire, your mission-critical data is recoverable.
Volunteers are wonderful, but they aren't usually available at 7 a.m. on a Monday when the server won't boot. Relying on a single volunteer for core infrastructure creates a single point of failure. Professional managed services give you accountability and continuity that a volunteer arrangement, no matter how well-intentioned, can't really provide.
"The cloud" simply means accessing files and software over the internet rather than running them on a server in your office. For many nonprofits, moving to the cloud is the most cost-effective option because it removes the need for expensive on-premises hardware and makes remote work much easier. We can help you decide whether a full cloud move, a hybrid setup, or staying local makes the most sense for your organization.
