AWS Environments Built for Accountable Spending

Infrastructure that stands up to a grant audit, protects donor data, and costs what it should, run by people who know a lean team is carrying all of it.

Why Nonprofit Work Is Different

Every dollar is accountable to someone

Boards, funders, and charity raters all look at how you spend. Infrastructure cost that cannot be explained or attributed becomes a governance question, not just a finance one.

Federal funding brings federal rules

Grant recipients above the single audit threshold fall under Uniform Guidance, and the internal controls it expects reach into how systems are accessed, logged, and changed.

One or two people carry everything

IT, security, and the donor database are often one role. Anything that needs constant attention will lose to whichever thing broke that week.

What We Deliver

We build environments that are inexpensive to run and defensible to report on, then take the operational load off the person carrying it.

Cost Accountability

Spend attributed to programs and grants so it maps to how you report, with right-sizing and commitment planning. We also make sure you are using the AWS nonprofit credit and discount programs you qualify for.

Grant & Audit Evidence

Access control, change logging, and retention built to satisfy the internal control expectations that come with federal funding, with evidence collected as the environment runs.

Donor & Constituent Data

Encryption, least-privilege access, and clear boundaries around the systems holding donor records, payment data, and case management information.

Operations for Lean Teams

Monitoring, patching, and incident response handled around the clock, so a one-person IT function is not also the on-call rotation.

What We Build Against

We design and evidence the environment. Certification and audit opinions stay with you and your auditor.
