On-Premise
The nonprofits hosting challenge
Why nonprofits teams need better hosting
Generic hosting was not built for nonprofits requirements.
Budgets are tight
Per-seat SaaS pricing drains limited funds that should go to the mission, not to software licences.
No IT staff
Volunteers and small teams cannot maintain servers, patch software, and manage backups.
Data responsibility
Donor and beneficiary data needs protection and, often, EU residency under GDPR.
