From the beginning, JNR has had deep roots in serving non-profits. Both personally and professionally, we care deeply about the missions of the organizations we serve. Your purpose-driven work inspires us and we’re proud to play a role in helping you achieve it.

Early on, we treated our non-profit clients as being fundamentally different from for-profit businesses — focusing more on the mission than the business. Over time, we realized that non-profits are complex, full-fledged organizations with goals very similar to those of for-profit businesses. The difference is in how success is measured — not in the need for sound business practices.

This realization led us to bring the same strategic IT frameworks we use for for-profit clients into our work with non-profits. When we partner with you, we’re not just talking about technology — we’re aligning IT with your mission, goals, balancing cost and benefit, assessing risk and planning for long-term success.

Along the way, we’ve identified key areas where non-profits face unique challenges. We’ve developed targeted strategies to help navigate these effectively.
