We understand that investing in technology can be a challenge for non-profit organizations
when funds need to be focused on helping constituents. Funding can be a combination of
government grants and community donations and budgets can be unpredictable as sources and
levels of funding can change from year to year.
Staffing is another challenge, as a bare-bones paid staff is supplemented with volunteers. Volunteer numbers can change on a seasonal basis or if the non-profit has a
major event or a campaign for which it must ramp up staff and services. Volunteers may only
receive minimal training, may well change from year to year and may not take full
responsibility for operations.
A non-profit will benefit from a streamlined combination of IT and communications services.
For that reason, ElastaLink has a special customized package that is aimed at providing the basics (phone, computer, Internet access and email) at a low cost. In a two-hour free
assessment, ElastaLink will discuss your organization’s specific needs and determine if the
basic package is in fact sufficient. If a larger non-profit needs more than the basics,
ElastaLink can easily scale up the services and features.
