Tech Support and Web Services for Volunteer Run Organizations
I have been working with non-profit and volunteer organizations for over 20 years. I have assisted large non-profits with dozens of staff, administered budgets in the quarter millions.
However, I have worked for tiny, smart organizations as well. I have helped collectives of three artisans get their web store off the ground. I have assisted volunteer-run sports associations and community groups to get their website and newsletter functioning well in ways they could easily maintain.
In my personal life, I co-founded a worker’s coop, and have served on the executive committes of coops, teams and clubs. I understand what small non-profits need, and what limits there are on volunteer time and abilities, budgets and funding.
Services I offer that are helpful to small volunteer run nonprofits
Bare Bones
The bare bones is perfect for non-profits & businesses with small budgets or who need something right away. A well built site with your brand & you add your own content.
Lock it down
Affordable preventative maintenance, technical oversight & security breach recovery
Lock it Down – Technical oversight: Volunteers come and go. For a small fee, I make sure the technical maintenance, administration, security and backups don’t fall throught the cracks and leave your site at risk, leaving the fun stuff for volunteers.
The Bare Bones: This service gets you started with a functional website with good bones, inexpensively, which allows your volunteers to put their effort into content creation.
Enewsletters: Again, I do the boring stuff like importing your contacts, setting up the newsletter software right, making sure privacy laws are complied with and adding a signup form to your website. Your volunteers get to write the newsletter and press a button to send.
Brief consulting and analysis: If your volunteer run organization is considering a change, you might need knowlegeable help evaluating options and making a decision. You may wish to have me professionally evaluate your options, so you can make a sound decision. Purchasing an hour or two of my time can help move discussions forward to action.
Free Services? What?
If your organization has a way to share information with members, I can offer a way for your members to help you earn free consulting, design, programming or training time.
For every new client referred by a member of your organization, who contacts me and purchases services of $400 or more, I will provide one free hour of work to both your organization and the referred client. I will do a great job for the organization or company you refer and you get to help out your non-profit organization at the same time. There is no limit to how many times you can redeem this offer, so your organization can benefit for some time.
Some of my clients have put a standing notice in the newsletter, member forum or AGM bulletin, so their members can help them earn free services. Let me know if you do this, so I can offer my thanks.
Contact me to make sure your organization is a fit for this offer and I’ll sign you up.
