IT for Churches & Nonprofits
Small staff, big responsibility.
A church or nonprofit often runs on a few staff members, many volunteers, and a building that is busy at unusual hours. The technology still has to work: office computers, Wi-Fi for guests and staff, a phone line, a printer for bulletins and mailings, and records about members and donors that deserve care. WOLFTRAXX SYSTEMS can help map what is in place, who owns each piece, and what a dependable setup would look like for your size and budget.
What to sort out first
- Accounts and access. Who has access to email, files, and shared accounts, and how is access removed when a volunteer or staff member moves on?
- Records. Where are membership, giving, and attendance records kept, who can export them, and is there a backup that someone has actually tested?
- Wi-Fi. Separate guest access from staff and office systems, and check coverage in the places people actually gather.
- Office computers and shared files. Keep staff machines updated and files in one place instead of scattered across personal devices.
- Printing. Bulletins, mailings, and office printing are easier when supplies and repairs have an owner; see Managed Print Services.
- Phones. A main line that reaches the right person, voicemail that is checked, and a plan for events; see VoIP & Phone Services.
- Giving and payments. Payment options can be discussed through Merchant Services. Confirm any provider’s terms for donation and nonprofit use directly with that provider.
- Streaming and presentations. Plan the network capacity that live streaming or on-screen presentations need, and coordinate with your audio/video vendor on the network side.
Questions worth asking
- Who owns the organization’s domain, email, and cloud accounts, and are those details written down somewhere other than one person’s memory?
- Who can see donor and member data, and what happens to that access when someone leaves?
- If a computer fails the week before a major event, who is called and how fast can work resume?
- Which software vendors offer nonprofit pricing? Eligibility is confirmed with each vendor.
