More mission.
Less IT worry.

Nonprofits stretch every dollar and every hour toward the mission, which leaves little room for IT problems, donor-data risk, or surprise costs. For 20 years IPC has helped Michigan nonprofits run secure, reliable, affordable technology, fully managed or right alongside your team, so more of your energy goes where it matters.

Technology that stretches your budget, not your team.
The reality for nonprofits

What every nonprofit's technology has to balance

Security, reliability, and a tight budget, all at once, with the mission depending on it.

Budget
Every dollar has a job

Money spent on IT is money not spent on the mission. We give you predictable, affordable technology and tap nonprofit pricing programs so more of your budget goes where it matters.

Security
Donor trust is fragile

A breach of donor or constituent data can undo years of goodwill. We bring monitoring, access controls, and layered defense sized for a nonprofit, not an enterprise budget.

Reliability
Small teams, no time for downtime

When systems break, there is no one to spare. We keep your environment monitored, supported, and recoverable so your people stay focused on the work.

What we hear from nonprofit leaders

The gaps we close for nonprofits

Most nonprofits come to us carrying some version of these three. We take them off your plate.

Donor data at quiet risk
The challenge

Constituent and donor records in too many places with unclear protection.

How IPC solves it

We secure it and document the controls, so trust is never in question.

No IT staff to spare
The challenge

Staff and volunteers doing IT between everything else, with no time for security or planning.

How IPC solves it

We become your IT department, or back up whoever has been carrying it.

Costs that crowd out the mission
The challenge

Overlapping tools and mispriced licensing quietly drain the budget.

How IPC solves it

We consolidate, right-size, and tap nonprofit programs to free money for the work.

Clear Path  ·  Assess. Navigate. Sustain.

A clear path for your organization's technology

The same structured methodology IPC applies across every engagement, brought to your organization. You always know where you stand and what comes next.

01
Assess

We review your environment, security, and technology spend, and give you an honest picture of where your organization stands and where budget is leaking.

02
Navigate

You get a prioritized roadmap and a managed-services plan scoped to your mission, your budget, and how your team actually works. We guide every step.

03
Sustain

We run and monitor your environment, keep donor data secure, and keep technology affordable and predictable so more goes to the mission.

Delivery Models

Fully Managed or Co‑Managed. Your call.

Whether IPC runs IT entirely or works alongside your existing team, the program, the process, and the standard of care are the same.

Fully Managed

IPC becomes your IT department. Best for organizations with no dedicated internal IT staff, or those who want to fully offload the operational burden. Your team focuses on the work that matters; IPC handles the rest.

Best when
No internal IT staff
Want a fully accountable partner
Need 24/7 coverage without 24/7 staffing costs
Co‑Managed

IPC works alongside your existing internal IT team. Best for organizations with an IT person or small team who need depth, 24/7 coverage, or specialized expertise. IPC extends the team without replacing it.

Best when
Existing IT staff
Need specialized depth
Want to extend coverage without adding headcount
Built for lean, mission-driven teams

We protect donor data and stretch your budget

Nonprofits hold sensitive donor and constituent data on limited resources. We secure it, keep you compliant, and make technology affordable and predictable.

What sets us apart
Donor-Data Protection PCI-DSS HIPAA (if applicable) NIST State of Michigan
Donor-data protection

Access controls, encryption, and monitoring around the donor and constituent data your reputation depends on.

Payment & PCI awareness

For organizations taking donations online, we handle payment data with PCI-aware controls that keep you compliant.

Nonprofit pricing programs

We tap Microsoft, Google, and vendor nonprofit programs to cut licensing costs and free budget for the mission.

Documented and audit-ready

Everything documented and explained plainly, so you are ready when a funder, board, or auditor asks.

Case study  ·  YellowHab

A technology foundation built from scratch.

The situation

YellowHab, a Norfolk nonprofit teaching technology to underprivileged students, was running on donated, aging hardware with no real infrastructure and whoever-was-available support.

What IPC did

IPC stepped in as a fractional technology leader, building the organization's first real technology plan, replacing risky legacy equipment, deploying secure password management, and finding nonprofit pricing it was entitled to.

The result

YellowHab moved from ad hoc support to a documented roadmap it can build on, with a secure foundation for the path to accreditation.
