At TechSoup, we help a lot of nonprofits every day. And when it comes to small but mighty organizations, we have a few recommendations that can help make their operations run smoother. These 10 fantastic tools and services may be the perfect fit for your small nonprofit.
QuickBooks Online Plus
Intuit QuickBooks Online Plus is a complete accounting and bookkeeping solution. With it, you can track income and expenses, create invoices, produce reports, and much more. You can also prepare financial data in the format required for IRS Form 990. It's worth a look if you've outgrown using spreadsheets for your bookkeeping.
TechSoup members can get a one-year subscription for five users for an $80 admin fee. Need more users? Take a look at QuickBooks Online Advanced.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Do you rely on Microsoft Office? Take the next step with Microsoft 365 Business Premium. A subscription provides access to cloud and desktop versions of Office applications, Microsoft Teams, enhanced security, hosted email, online file storage, collaboration tools, and more.
Subscriptions start at just $1 per user per month, and they include our support services to help you manage your licenses and get the most out of them.
Mobile Beacon Hotspots
Do you often work out in the field, or conduct home visits, but still require Internet access? Do you host events in areas without reliable Wi-Fi? Would your clients or patrons benefit from a hotspot lending program? Mobile Beacon offers Wi-Fi hotspots to nonprofits to connect computers or mobile devices to the Internet from any location within the Mobile Beacon coverage area. You can now get tablets, too!

Foxit PDF Editor+
Do you work with a lot of PDF documents? Foxit PDF Editor+ is a great option for small organizations that need to create, edit, or share PDF documents.

TechSoup member organizations can get a discounted one-year subscription for up to 30 users.
Adobe Express Premium
Looking for an easy way to create graphics and short videos for your outreach efforts? Adobe Express Premium is for you. This web-based app gives you all the tools to make the digital media assets you need for social media posts, email outreach, donor newsletters, and more — no design skills required.
TechSoup member organizations can request up to 50 Adobe Express Premium memberships per year at no cost.
Norton Security Solutions
Yes, even small nonprofits are vulnerable to cyberattack. In fact, since small orgs have more limited resources, you may be even more vulnerable than a larger, more well-known organization.
Norton Small Business and Norton 360 Deluxe are two great security solutions for small nonprofits that require minimal setup. These tools protect your devices against all the latest online threats. Norton 360 also features a VPN, dark web monitoring, and other great features. You can request enough licenses through TechSoup to cover up to 100 devices.
Avast CloudCare Antivirus
If you need to protect a larger number of systems, consider Avast CloudCare Antivirus. Avast CloudCare Antivirus protects networked laptops, desktops, and servers against viruses, spyware, and other online threats. Its all-in-one online dashboard allows your IT team to monitor and manage server status and resource usage.
Zoom
Zoom isn't just for remote work — it's also ideal for delivering your programs to those who can't be there in person. Zoom includes features like virtual whiteboards, automated summarization features to help you remember what you discussed in meetings, robust security options, and much more.
TechSoup member organizations can get up to 50 percent off a Zoom Workplace subscription.
TechSoup Help Desk Services
Does your nonprofit need remote support for urgent tech issues? How about ongoing support, virus protection, and general online maintenance? TechSoup's Help Desk Services may be perfect for you.
