IT for the mission, run on a real-world budget.
Nonprofits don’t want to think about IT — they want to do the work. We handle managed IT and cybersecurity for Hawaii nonprofits, foundations, and human-services organizations, so staff time and grant dollars go to the program instead of the inbox.
Nonprofit IT Services for Hawaii Mission-Driven Organizations
HI Tech Hui delivers nonprofit IT services to Hawaii foundations, social-service agencies, schools, and faith-based organizations. We design around Microsoft 365 Nonprofit licensing, TechSoup-eligible discounts, and Google for Nonprofits when appropriate — then pair those tools with managed identity, EDR, backup verification, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. The goal is a documented, board-defensible IT program that protects donor data and grant compliance without consuming the program budget.
Where most nonprofits are when they call us
The Microsoft 365 tenant was set up years ago by a board member or a previous employee, and nobody has the admin password anymore. There’s a shared drive with everything from grant reports to donor data and HR files, with no real permissions. People keep leaving and their accounts keep working. The board chair gets a fake email from the executive director asking for a wire transfer, twice a year. The donor database is in a cloud platform nobody backs up. We come in, get the tenant under control, lock the basics down, and run it as a service so this stops being a board-meeting topic.
What we cover
- Microsoft 365 nonprofit licensing — eligibility help, deployment, MFA, conditional access, SharePoint and OneDrive done right
- Identity & access — clean accounts, real offboarding, MFA on everyone, and a documented administrator handoff plan
- Device management — laptop and phone standards, patching, antivirus, encryption, mobile device management
- Cybersecurity — email security against ED/board impersonation, phishing training for staff and volunteers, and 24/7 SOC monitoring
- Backups — immutable cloud backup of Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and OneDrive with quarterly restore tests
- Helpdesk — staff get a number to call that reaches a Hawaii-based human, not a queue
- Onboarding / offboarding — documented process so new hires get what they need and departing staff lose access cleanly
- Grant-friendly planning — predictable monthly costs that fit grant budgets and a multi-year plan for the bigger refreshes
Who we work with
Human-services organizations, family and youth programs, foundations and grantmakers, community development nonprofits, conservation and cultural organizations, faith-based service organizations, and education-adjacent program offices. Most have between 10 and 100 staff and contractors, a Microsoft 365 tenant, a donor or case-management database, and grant or program funding that doesn’t look kindly on data breaches.
Why a Hawaii-based partner matters
You don’t want your IT provider learning what Hawaii nonprofits do for the first time on your dime. We’ve worked with nonprofits in the islands since 2014 — we understand the funding model, the audit pressure, the staff turnover, and the realities of working with neighbor-island partners.
