Creating and maintaining a server for a nonprofit organization is a questionable prospect, especially for tiny organizations with limited resources. Servers need expertise to setup and a lot of money to maintain, like IT staff on payroll. That is why a lot of nonprofits are starting to consider the cloud, whether they need just an application as a service or a full fledged cloud platform that takes care of all their needs. So, what are some the benefits of moving to the cloud for a nonprofit organization?
Becoming more efficient
Sharing, editing and collaborating on documents isn't a hassle anymore, because the whole organization works on the same set of documents and applications in real time. Also, you can share applications publicly or privately, read only or fully functional.
Bring order to your database
With the cloud forget about merging a tonne of excel spreadsheets then manually sharing them. The data is accessible to all the workers, anytime and anywhere, the only thing you'll need is an internet browser.
Documents are more secure and more reliable

Lower technology costs
By using the cloud there is less need for in-house IT staff. Think about it: there is no server and no installs, upgrades, backups and maintenance is done by the service provider.
