We help organizations leverage technology to become more effective, efficient, and secure.

10/23/2026

Cost is real. We are not dismissing it.

But BDO's Nonprofit Sector Outlook found that 60% of organizations cite cost as the primary barrier to technology investment — even as the cost of inefficiency, staff turnover, and security incidents keeps climbing.

When you add up the hours your team spends on manual processes, the staff you lose to organizations with better tools, and the donor relationships you struggle to maintain without good data — the math often changes.

Technology investment is not always expensive. Not investing in it always is.

10/21/2026

9 in 10 nonprofit leaders say technology is critical to their mission.

Most are spending less than 3% of their budget on it.

That gap is not just a financial decision. It is a strategy problem. And it is showing up in your programs, your staff retention, and your donor reporting.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy surveyed 350 nonprofit leaders in 2026. The numbers confirmed what many already feel but struggle to name.

Your organization knows technology matters. The question is whether the budget reflects that belief.

If the answer is no, that is where we start.

Every time a staff member signs up for a new tool with their work email, your digital footprint grows.

Every vendor who stores donor payment information holds a piece of your security surface.

Every former employee whose access was never properly removed is a door you may not know is still open.

Okta's 2026 Nonprofits at Work report found that managing digital identity and access is one of the most underleveraged security opportunities in the nonprofit sector.

You do not need a big IT team to get this right. You need a clear picture of who has access to what — and a process for keeping it current.

10/16/2026

Unauthorized access does not always look like a dramatic breach.

Sometimes it looks like a former employee whose access was never removed. Or a phishing email that a board member clicked. Or credentials that were shared and never rotated.

Wipfli's 2026 Nonprofit Industry Outlook flagged unauthorized access as one of the fastest-growing threat categories for the sector.

The gap between when access is compromised and when it is discovered is often measured in months.

Locking down who has access to what is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost security improvements most nonprofits can make.

10/15/2026

Most nonprofits know their technology is a problem. Very few have a plan for what to do about it.

Swipe through the 5-step path that consistently works for organizations ready to close the gap.

It starts with seeing clearly what you actually have — not what you wish you had.

Save this for your next leadership meeting.

The way nonprofit leaders talk about technology has shifted significantly in the past 5 years. And the 2026 research confirms it. 🔄

Goodstack, Momentive, Omatic, BDO, and every major sector research publication this year uses the same language: technology is infrastructure, not overhead. It is an operational commitment, not a nice-to-have. It is a trust-building strategy, not an IT expense line.

The leaders and organizations that are thriving in 2026 made that shift in their thinking first and then made it in their budgets.

ShakeTech is here for the organizations making that shift right now.

💬 Where did your org's technology conversation start vs. where it is today?

10/09/2026

The 2026 Nonprofit Trends Report is specific about what actually erodes donor trust: operational failures. Cash flow challenges that delay program delivery. Compliance issues that disrupt operations. Donor relationships that end without a clear explanation. 📉

None of those are fixed by a better newsletter.

They are fixed by systems that give leadership real-time operational visibility. By technology that keeps donor records accurate. By workflows that make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Trust is built operationally or it is not built at all.

Software companies sell licenses. That is their business model. And there is nothing wrong with that. 🤝

But a license and a working system are not the same thing. A license and a team that knows how to use it confidently are not the same thing. A license and a configuration that reflects how your specific organization works are not the same thing.

ShakeTech is not a software vendor. We are a technology partner. We design and configure the system. We deliver training by role. We document what we build. And we stay available when things change.

That distinction matters enormously in the nonprofit world where staff time is limited and the margin for technology failure is essentially zero.

2026 sector research from multiple sources is pointing in the same direction: donor retention will matter more than donor acquisition for most nonprofits this year. The biggest gains will come from improving second gift rates and expanding the lifetime value of the donors you already have. 💛

Recurring donors sit at the center of that strategy. And recurring donor relationships live or die in your CRM.

When gift records are inaccurate, when communication is not personalized to someone's actual giving history, when a lapsed payment creates a confusing experience instead of a graceful one, those relationships erode quietly. You usually do not find out until they are gone.

ShakeTech builds and configures the CRM systems that make recurring donor relationships sustainable and data-driven.

💬 What is the biggest friction point in your recurring donor program right now?

10/01/2026

BDO's 2026 Nonprofit Sector Outlook puts it plainly: technology risk is now a strategic fiduciary issue. Boards increasingly expect assurance that financial systems, donor data, and operational platforms are secure, resilient, and integrated. 📋

That means when technology comes up in your board meeting, the conversation has shifted. It is no longer about which tools you use. It is about whether those tools are creating organizational risk or reducing it.

CFOs and EDs should be leading quarterly reviews of technology effectiveness that focus on where failures could occur and how quickly the organization could recover.

ShakeTech helps nonprofit leaders build the technology confidence to have exactly these conversations.
