Non-Profits

Executive Directors must increasingly rely on the internet to advocate their mission and needs. This goes beyond just having a brochure website. It means using the web to securely share files, access e-mail and protect against spam and viruses, and increase presence in search engines.

Luminys can help address all these needs. We work closely with non-profits and foundations for web hosting, site design, file sharing, and e-mail support. Our goal is to help non-profits get the most out of their budget and avoid the high costs of hosting and managing a server internally.

CONNECT WITH YOUR BOARD

Executive Directors are always looking for better ways to communicate with and simplify the lives of their board members. Posting meeting minutes, calendars, and handouts to an extranet built into your website is an excellent way to reduce the unnecessary overhead for your board, allowing you to focus on important topics.

ADD PROJECTS WITHOUT ADDING COMPLEXITY

Launching new projects and initiatives typically involves bringing in outside expertise and maintaing a repository of files. Through your extranet you can create web folders and grant access to only those people working on your projects.

WE WILL HELP YOU MAINTAIN YOUR SITE

Most non-profit websites are out-of-date. The challenge is how to keep a website up to date without blowing a budget. Luminys offers monthly updates to websites for $50/mo, allowing you to e-mail us updates and changes. Typically, these changes are made within one or two business days. We recognize that some months there are no updates, and some months there will be lots of updates, and for many of our customers this has worked very well.

SAVE MONEY AND MANAGE YOUR BUDGET

501(c)(3) organizations qualify for steep software discounts. Unfortunately, we see many small and medium non-profits go too far and incur the costs purchasing and maintaining a server, having to cope with downtime, and relying on an $80 or $100/hr IT consultant once or twice a month. Using a Luminys solution moves the overhead out of your office and into a world-class data center. Most importantly, when you have questions, you have somebody you can call and ask questions and get intellegent guidance.
