IT Support for Louisiana Nonprofits and Ministries

Nonprofits and ministries carry the same technology risks as any business, with a smaller budget, a rotating cast of volunteers and a board that expects stewardship. Donor records, client case files, payment data and years of institutional knowledge sit on aging computers and shared logins. Lagniappe IT delivers managed IT and cybersecurity sized for mission-driven organizations in Louisiana: practical, flat-rate and respectful of every dollar.

Who this is for

Nonprofits, churches, ministries, foundations and community organizations in St. Tammany Parish and across Louisiana, typically 3 to 50 staff plus volunteers, with one or more sites. You hold donor data, client or congregant information, and sometimes sensitive case records. You need IT that works, protects the people you serve and holds up to a grant audit, without a full-time IT employee.

Pain points specific to Louisiana nonprofits

Donor and client data is sensitive and often unprotected. Giving histories, bank details, case notes and personal circumstances live in spreadsheets, email and a donor database with shared logins.
Volunteers and turnover create loose ends. Shared passwords, accounts that never get closed, and personal devices that touch organizational data.
Budgets are tight and licensing is confusing. Microsoft and Google both offer nonprofit programs, but most organizations are either paying for things they could get at a discount or using free accounts that were never secured.
Grants and boards expect documentation. Funders increasingly ask about data security, backups and policies, and the board needs a straight answer about risk.
Payment and gift fraud. A forged email asking the bookkeeper to move funds, or a fake invoice, works just as well on a ministry as on a business.
One person knows how everything works. When they leave, so does the knowledge of how the website, the giving platform, the email and the database fit together.
Hurricane season. Your community needs you most right after a storm, which is exactly when an unprepared office is dark.

What we deliver

Managed IT for staff: help desk, patching, monitoring, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, backups and network, for one flat monthly fee sized to your organization.
Nonprofit licensing guidance so you take advantage of Microsoft and Google nonprofit programs and stop paying for what you do not need.
Account and access management for staff and volunteers: individual logins, multi-factor authentication, role-based access to donor and client data, and an offboarding checklist that actually finishes.
Email security done properly: SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain, phishing and impersonation protection, and forwarding-rule audits.
Endpoint detection and response on every staff device, with 24x7 managed detection and response through our Huntress SOC partnership.
Donor and case data protection: encryption on devices, secure sharing instead of email attachments, and sensible controls on your donor database and giving platform.
Backup and disaster recovery with encrypted, off-site, immutable copies tested on a schedule, and a plan for serving your community from anywhere after a storm.
Written policies and documentation you can hand to a funder or a board: acceptable use, data handling, backup and incident response.
Network and Wi-Fi for offices, sanctuaries, classrooms and events, with guest access separated from staff systems.
Private AI when you are ready: searchable grant history, correspondence and records so institutional knowledge stops leaving with people.

How we work

We start with a clear assessment of your organization: where donor and client data lives, who has access, how email and giving are secured and what would happen in a storm. From there, we scope an engagement that fits your budget and mission. You get one point of contact who knows your environment.

Scoped engagement based on what your organization actually needs, not a tier menu.
Flat monthly rate after the initial assessment, with no surprise after-hours billing.
Full client environment isolation. Your data is never on shared infrastructure with another organization.

Why us, in plain terms

We are owner-led and local, with a 24x7 security operations layer through Huntress behind every endpoint we protect. We support nonprofit and ministry organizations on the Northshore today, we are members of the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce, and we understand stewardship: we tell you what you need, even when it is less than we could sell you.

Free 30-minute assessment

If you are not sure whether your donor data is protected, whether a former volunteer still has access, or whether you are paying too much for licenses, we will tell you in 30 minutes. No pressure, no proposal pushed across the table.

IT Support for Louisiana Nonprofits and Ministries: questions we hear

Can a small nonprofit afford managed IT?

Usually, yes, and often for less than they are already spending on licenses they do not need plus the occasional emergency call. We size the agreement to staff count, help you use nonprofit licensing programs, and put security and backups in the base fee rather than selling them as extras.

Do you offer nonprofit pricing?

We price every agreement to the organization, and we are glad to talk through budget on the assessment call. The bigger savings usually come from using the Microsoft and Google nonprofit programs correctly.

Can you help us with volunteers who need access?

Yes. Individual accounts with multi-factor authentication, role-based access to donor and client data, and an offboarding checklist so access ends when the volunteer role does.

What do funders and boards usually ask about?

Whether data is backed up and tested, whether staff use multi-factor authentication, whether you have written policies, and what happens if there is a breach. We put those controls in place and give you the documentation to answer confidently.
