Assessing Nonprofit IT Maturity
August 13, 2025
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Eastern Time
An investment in nonprofit tech is an investment in mission.
Small nonprofits—those with fewer than 25 staff—make up the majority of the sector, yet they remain underserved when it comes to scalable, affordable IT support. Many lack secure, impactful IT– a necessary resource that will grow as the AI revolution continues. While Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can be effective for midsized organizations, many smaller nonprofits fall through the cracks—lacking not just tools, but the guidance to use them effectively.
Join the Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG) for a panel discussion where we’ll unpack how this overlooked gap in IT maturity affects the entire sector, and what funders, infrastructure organizations, and partners can do to close it.
We’ll explore:
What current IT maturity data tells us about small nonprofits
Why this issue is critical for assessing equality gaps in the age of AI
Real-world examples from a funder navigating this challenge with grantees
You’ll hear directly from sector leaders on how we can work together to support foundational tech capacity—not just for resilience, but for impact.
Key Takeaways Include:
Understand the landscape of IT support needs among small nonprofits
Explore models that work—and where they fall short
Learn how funders can better support tech equity across the nonprofit ecosystem
