Accessible and Affordable Services

Back-office support

You can focus on your mission and let us handle the technical and administrative details by allowing us to provide you with just the amount of IT support, database administration, finance, payroll, and human resources work you need. How great is that?

Projects & Consulting

For project or consulting needs, you can contract with us for a wide range of technology and management consulting work. Want to ditch your mash-up of databases? Need an emergency plan? Set your sights on developing a social enterprise to bring in revenue?

Many services are made more affordable because of the involvement of pro bono consultants and support from our philanthropic partners.

Training & Convenings

We also offer peer-learning opportunities and training for executives, staff, and board members. Find trainings provided by 501 Commons or others on Learning Connections.
