The Technology Struggles Facing Nonprofits
Common IT Challenges for Nonprofit Organizations
Limited Budgets
Nonprofits operate on tight budgets, making it difficult to fund enterprise-grade IT or hire full-time staff. This often leaves them exposed to inefficiencies and security gaps.
Donor Data Security
Donors expect their information to remain safe. Cyberattacks targeting donor databases, payment systems, and communications can erode trust and harm fundraising efforts.
Compliance & Privacy
Nonprofits must comply with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or state privacy laws when handling sensitive data. Weak IT policies create risks of penalties, audit failures, or data loss.
Outdated Systems
Many nonprofits rely on aging software or hardware, which slows operations, reduces staff efficiency, and creates vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
