IT Support for Nonprofits & Associations in Maryland, DC & Virginia
CMA manages technology for nonprofits, associations, and workforce development organizations — from a 15-person advocacy group to a 125-employee county workforce agency with multiple service centers. We keep your staff productive, your donor and client data protected, and your IT spend predictable enough to put in a grant budget.
Nonprofit leaders tell us the same thing: technology has to work, it has to be secure, and it cannot consume the executive director’s time. That is exactly the job of a managed IT partner.
Employees at our largest nonprofit client, a Montgomery County workforce agency with multiple service centers.
Flat monthly pricing that fits program budgets and audit reporting.
We help you claim Microsoft and Google nonprofit licensing and use it well.
One network, one help desk, across every office, center, and remote worker.
What Keeps Leaders Up at Night
Tight, Restricted Budgets
Funding is program-specific and unpredictable. IT costs need to be flat, documented, and defensible to a board or a funder.
Donor, Member & Client Data
Donor records, member PII, and case files are exactly what attackers target — and a breach damages trust you cannot buy back.
Lean Staff, High Turnover
Program staff, volunteers, and interns come and go. Onboarding and offboarding have to be fast and secure.
Multiple Locations
Service centers, satellite offices, and field staff all need the same secure access to the same systems.
Funder & Audit Requirements
Government-funded programs increasingly require documented security controls and data handling policies.
No Internal IT
One overloaded office manager is the help desk. Everyone else waits.

Questions We Hear From Nonprofits
Do you offer nonprofit pricing?
Our pricing is already built for lean organizations, and we work with you to right-size the plan — for example, licensing only the users who need full Microsoft 365 seats. Ask us about nonprofit-specific terms during your consultation.
Can you help us get Microsoft or Google nonprofit licensing?
Yes. We help you qualify, enroll, and configure Microsoft 365 nonprofit grants and discounts (or Google Workspace for Nonprofits), then manage the tenant so you actually use what you’re entitled to.
We have several service centers. Can you support all of them?
Yes. We manage multi-site nonprofits today, including a 125-employee workforce agency with multiple centers. Every location shares one network design, one help desk, and one set of security policies.
Our funder requires a security policy. Can you provide one?
We provide written security, acceptable-use, and data handling policies aligned to the controls we implement, so what the policy says and what your systems do actually match.
