Enterprise IT on a Charity Budget

Saved £8,000/year with charity licensing.

Enterprise IT on a Charity Budget
The challenge

What they were dealing with

A local charity supporting vulnerable adults was paying full commercial rates for their Microsoft 365 licenses. With 15 staff and a tight budget, every pound spent on IT was a pound not spent on their beneficiaries. They also had no proper backup of their donor database and case management system.

Risk: Wasted Charitable Funds
What we did

The solution

We helped them apply for Microsoft 365 Business Premium through the charity licensing programme - getting enterprise-grade security features for free. We migrated their donor database to a properly backed-up cloud environment and implemented the security features they'd been paying extra for elsewhere. The savings funded a complete laptop refresh.

We had no idea we were eligible for free Microsoft licenses. Fresh Tech sorted the application and suddenly we had thousands of pounds back in our budget. The new laptops have made such a difference to our team.
