Helping mission-driven organizations do more good with smarter, more affordable technology.
At Backcountry Business Solutions, we have a soft spot for nonprofits. From small churches and community ministries to established 501(c)(3) organizations, we love partnering with teams that are focused on making a difference rather than chasing profit. We know you’re juggling tight budgets, limited staff, and big goals—and we’re here to make sure your technology helps, not hurdles, your mission.
Why We Love Working With Nonprofits
Nonprofits operate differently, and that’s a good thing. Decisions go through boards, budgets are carefully scrutinized, and every dollar has a purpose. We understand that dynamic and we respect it.
When we work with nonprofits, our priorities are simple:
- Support the mission first – Technology is a tool to help you serve your community better.
- Respect your budget – We look for the most impact at the most reasonable cost.
- Build relationships, not transactions – We’re here as a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor.
Whether you’re coordinating volunteers, running events, managing donations, or streaming services, our goal is to give you reliable, secure tools that just work.
Experience From Churches to 501(c)(3)s
We’ve worked with a variety of nonprofit organizations, including:
- Local churches and faith communities
- Small community groups and clubs
- Human services and outreach organizations
- Arts, education, and youth-focused nonprofits
We understand the unique challenges nonprofits face: staff and volunteers sharing devices, seasonal surges in activity, leadership transitions, and the need for simple systems that don’t require a full-time IT person to run.
We tailor our solutions to your structure, your staff, and your workflows—whether you’re mostly volunteers, have a small paid team, or are running multiple locations.
Making the Most of Nonprofit Discounts & Programs
One of the biggest benefits of being a nonprofit is access to special pricing and programs from major vendors—and we know how to help you take full advantage.
We are familiar with nonprofit offerings from:
- Google – Google for Nonprofits, including Gmail, Drive, and collaboration tools at free or discounted rates.
- Microsoft – Nonprofit licensing for Microsoft 365, productivity tools, and cloud services at substantially reduced cost.
- Other vendors – Security, backup, communication, and software providers that offer nonprofit discounts and grants.
We can help you:
- Determine your eligibility and prepare the right documentation.
- Choose the right plans so you’re not overpaying for features you don’t need.
- Set up and configure accounts in a way that’s secure, organized, and easy to manage.
Our goal is simple: stretch your technology budget as far as it can go without cutting corners on security or reliability.

How We Work With You
Every nonprofit partnership starts with a conversation about your mission, your people, and your current tools. From there, we:
- Listen – Understand your programs, schedule, and pain points (Sunday rush, event seasons, year-end giving, etc.).
- Assess – Review your current systems, accounts, and vendors to see what you already have and what can be improved.
- Optimize – Recommend and implement changes that deliver real value—often starting with low-cost or no-cost improvements.
- Support – Provide ongoing help, guidance, and adjustments as your organization grows and evolves.
At Backcountry Business Solutions, we believe nonprofits deserve the same quality of IT support as any large company—just tailored to your scale, budget, and mission.
If you’re a church, charity, or 501(c)(3) wondering how to modernize your technology without breaking the bank, we’d love to talk and see how we can help you do more good with better tools.
