Technology should never stand in the way of your mission.
At Preferred, we help nonprofits build secure, reliable IT foundations so they can focus on what truly matters: serving their communities.
From donation systems, to program data, to board communications, you handle sensitive data every day. But most nonprofits struggle with limited resources, inconsistent technology, and growing cybersecurity requirements. That’s where we come in.
Nonprofits face the same technology risks as large corporations, without the same budget or IT team.
We understand the unique pressures you face:
Limited budgets make it hard to hire or retain qualified IT staff.
Fragmented systems create inefficiencies across programs, fundraising, and administration.
Data privacy and donor trust are critical; one breach can jeopardize both.
Grant and compliance reporting require secure documentation and audit readiness.
Remote and hybrid staff need reliable, secure access from anywhere.
Reactive IT vendors often don’t understand the mission-first mindset.
We provide enterprise-level cybersecurity & IT, scaled to your mission and your budget.
Preferred works as your strategic partner, not just your help desk.
Our Total Care Services and SmartSecure™ platform combines 24/7 threat monitoring, advanced endpoint protection, and phishing defense to safeguard donor data, financial records, and staff information.
We also help you meet compliance requirements for HIPAA, PCI, and cyber insurance renewals, with documentation your board and auditors will love.
Through our Business Cybersecurity & Technology Review (BCTR), we assess your current technology landscape and develop a roadmap that aligns with your goals.
We identify cost-saving opportunities, streamline systems, and ensure technology supports your programs instead of distracting from them.
We know budgets are tight and funding is often unpredictable. That’s why our flat-rate model eliminates surprise bills and allows you to plan confidently.
Whether you’re managing 20 or 200 users, you’ll get proactive IT support and cybersecurity coverage for one simple monthly rate.
From remote program coordinators to in-office staff, we help your team stay connected and productive.
We deploy and manage Microsoft 365, Teams, and secure cloud environments that give your people access to files and tools wherever they serve.
Your donors and board expect accountability and professionalism.
We help you demonstrate both through strong cybersecurity posture, transparent reporting, and technology that reflects your organization’s credibility.
