Hey there, I'm Skits. Jerry and I are proud to work with non-profits across the Valley — shelters, food banks, community organizations, you name it. We know your budgets are tight and your staff wears a lot of hats. That's exactly why we keep things simple, affordable, and focused on what actually helps your mission. No bloated contracts, no unnecessary upgrades — just reliable tech support from someone who genuinely cares about the work you do.

6 Reasons Non-Profits Choose SKTS

Here's what makes working with Jerry different from the big IT companies.

1. We Understand Your Mission

Jerry doesn't just show up and fix computers. He takes the time to understand what your organization does, who you serve, and what your actual priorities are. That means you get tech decisions that support your work — not the other way around.

He's worked with shelters, food pantries, and community service organizations right here in the Valley. He gets it.

2. Predictable, Budget-Friendly Pricing

Surprise IT bills are the last thing a non-profit needs. Jerry offers managed plans with a flat monthly fee, so you always know what IT costs. No hidden charges, no scope creep, no "well, while we were in there..." invoices.

Plans start at $35/month per device — and he'll work with you to find the right fit for your budget.

3. Security & Compliance You Can Count On

Non-profits handle sensitive data — donor information, client records, financial details. Jerry makes sure your systems are protected with up-to-date antivirus, proper backups, and security policies that meet grant requirements and best practices.

He'll also help your staff recognize phishing emails and social engineering scams, because that's where most breaches start.

4. Cloud Tools & Remote Work Support

Whether your team uses Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a mix of everything, Jerry can help you get set up, stay organized, and collaborate effectively — even if half your staff works from home or out in the field.

He'll help you take advantage of the free and discounted tools that non-profits qualify for, too. There's a lot out there most organizations don't even know about.

5. Strategic Guidance, Not Just Repairs

Jerry isn't just a fix-it guy. He'll sit down with you once a quarter, review how things are running, and give you honest advice about what's coming up — equipment that's aging out, software that needs updating, or opportunities to work more efficiently.

Think of it as having a CTO on call, without the six-figure salary.

6. Leadership Transitions Without the Chaos

Board members rotate. Executive directors move on. Staff turns over. But Jerry already knows your systems — the email, the accounting software, the membership database, all of it. When new people come in, he gets them set up and pointed to everything they need. No scrambling, no lost passwords, no "the last person knew how to do that."

Jerry is the continuity. Your institutional tech knowledge doesn't walk out the door when someone leaves.

Challenges We See Every Day

Sound familiar? You're not alone — and there are solutions that don't break the bank.

"We can't afford a full-time IT person."

Most non-profits can't — and you don't need one. Jerry provides the same kind of support a full-time IT person would, but at a fraction of the cost. You get a dedicated tech partner without the payroll burden.

"Our computers are old and slow, but we can't replace them all at once."

Jerry will help you prioritize. Some machines just need a tune-up or a memory upgrade. Others really do need to go. He'll build a replacement plan that spreads the cost over time so it's manageable.

"We're worried about a data breach but don't know where to start."

Start by calling Jerry. He'll do a security review, identify the biggest risks, and fix them in order of priority. Most of the important stuff — updates, passwords, backups, email security — isn't expensive. It just needs to get done.

"Our staff isn't very tech-savvy."

That's more common than you'd think, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Jerry will train your team on the basics — spotting scam emails, using shared drives, keeping passwords safe — in a way that actually sticks. No lectures, no eye-rolling.

"We have grant requirements around data security."

Jerry can help you meet those requirements without overcomplicating things. He'll document what's in place, fill in the gaps, and give you the paperwork you need to show auditors and funders that your data is handled responsibly.

Skits tip

Skits says: Here's something a lot of non-profits don't realize — Microsoft, Google, and other big tech companies offer free or deeply discounted tools for qualifying organizations. Jerry can help you find out what you're eligible for and get it set up. We've saved some organizations thousands of dollars a year just by pointing them in the right direction.
