Technology planning, up-to-date computer hardware, affordable Internet access, and knowledge of software applications are all essential for nonprofit organizations but are often left out of the budget and under-resourced. When nonprofits take full advantage of the capacity of technology, they can focus more energy on their mission and raising funds to support their organization.
We don’t like to see nonprofits paying for high-priced services from tech support companies that don’t share their mission and don’t know about special technology deals or offers for nonprofits. DANEnet has the knowledge, expertise, and connections to help organizations focus less on IT issues and more on the important work they do for our communities!
How Does It Work?
DANEnet provides both scheduled, managed tech/website support as well as on-demand support to nonprofits in Dane County. Nonprofit clients can either schedule regular maintenance/work, or call their assigned DANEnet technicians as needed. Even if your agency has not worked with us in the past, you are only one call away from getting a DANEnet technician’s help!
How Much Does It Cost?
DANEnet bills hourly for IT/tech/web support plus travel time to your agency for in-person support. Tech/equipment purchases are also included on your monthly invoice if you’ve arrange with us to make purchases for you. Read our 2023 Services Overview and our 2023 Rates & Services Contract for more details. Questions? Email info@danenet.org.
