Free website and security help for New Hampshire nonprofits.
Most small nonprofits run their website on volunteer time and a tight budget. That is how sites end up years out of date and easy to break into. We check, fix and back up nonprofit websites for free.
- No charge for the work
- Everything stays in your organization's name
- Nothing changes without your written OK
See what anyone can find out about your website.
Type your web address. In about ten seconds you get a plain-English list of what's fine and what needs attention: the security certificate, browser protections, the WordPress version, email spoofing protection and when your domain renews.
It reads only what's already public. It doesn't log in or test for weaknesses, and we don't keep the results.
The notices pile up faster than a volunteer can read them.
Updates, renewals, old logins and backups all arrive sounding urgent, and most of them land on whoever has a spare evening. Some are real problems. A few, like the gift card email, are scams using your name.
We work through the pile with you, one notice at a time, for free.

- A donor“Did you email me asking for gift cards?”
- Login alertNew sign-in by a volunteer who left in 2023

Each notice has a fix. We do the work.
Pick what you need. Most groups start with the security check and the fixes it turns up.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: Security certificate expires in 6 days
Website security check
We look at your site the way an attacker would, without breaking anything: software versions, plugins, logins, the certificate, your domain and your email settings. You get a written report in plain English with the fixes in order.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: 14 plugin updates waiting
Fixes and updates
We update WordPress, plugins and themes, remove the ones nobody uses, close accounts for people who have left and turn on two-step sign-in. We test the site after each change.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: Last good backup: 14 months ago
Backups you've tested
We set up automatic offsite backups, then restore one to prove it works. You get a one-page sheet that says what to do if the site goes down.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: “Did you email me asking for gift cards?”
Email spoofing protection
We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so scammers can't easily send fake donation requests from your address. Many small nonprofits have none of these in place.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: Theme no longer supported by its developer
Rebuild or redesign
When a site is too far gone to patch, we rebuild it as a simple, fast site that is cheap to host and has far less to keep updated. We take on a few of these a year.
- FreeThe kind of notice this fixes: “Can AI help with the grant report?”
An AI session for staff and volunteers
A hands-on session on using AI for grant drafts, volunteer schedules, newsletters and thank-you letters, with care for donor and client information.
Small nonprofits are easy targets, and they rarely have anyone to call.
The towns around New Boston run on volunteers: food pantries, historical societies, land trusts, libraries and fire auxiliaries. Their websites take donations, sign up volunteers and tell people where to find help, and most of them are looked after by whoever has a spare evening.
This is how we give some of our time back. AI now does much of the routine checking and patching on our side, so each site takes us far less time than it used to, and we can help more groups than a small firm could before.

New Hampshire charities and the groups that work like them.
Who can apply
- Registered 501(c)(3) charities in New Hampshire
- Libraries, historical societies, land trusts, food pantries, shelters, arts groups and similar
- Volunteer-run groups without 501(c)(3) status, such as PTOs and town committees, can ask
What it doesn't cover
- Political campaigns, and groups whose main work is lobbying
- Hosting, domain or software bills, which stay in your name and on your account
- Ongoing IT support or on-call help
We take on a few organizations each quarter, in the order they apply. If we're full, we'll say so and tell you when we expect an opening.
Before you apply.
Is it really free?
Yes. We don't charge for the work, and you don't have to buy anything from us afterward. Your hosting, domain and any software licenses stay on your own accounts, and you keep paying those as you do now.
Why does a consulting firm do this for free?
It's our way of giving back to the communities we work in. AI now does much of the routine checking and patching, so the work takes us far less time than it used to.
What does the free check on this page look at?
Only what anyone on the internet can already see: the homepage and its settings, the security certificate, your domain's renewal date and lock, and the email records that stop spoofing. It doesn't try to log in or test for weaknesses, and we don't keep the results. Anything deeper waits until you've said yes in writing.
Will you need our passwords?
For fixes, we'll ask you to create an account for us rather than share yours, so you can remove it when we're done. The free check needs nothing but your web address.
What if an update breaks something?
We back up the site before we change anything and avoid busy times like a gala or a fundraising drive. If an update causes a problem, we roll it back. A site that has gone years without updates sometimes needs a few fixes along the way, and we'll tell you before we start if we expect that.
Our site is on Wix or Squarespace. Can you still help?
Yes. Those platforms keep their own software up to date, so the work is usually about email protection, the domain, who has logins and how the site reads on a phone.
Do we have to be in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire groups come first. If you're nearby in Vermont, Maine or Massachusetts, apply anyway and we'll tell you whether we can fit you in.
Tell us about your organization.
A few lines is enough. We'll reply by email to set up a short call, or to tell you when we'll have room.
Free, with nothing to buy afterward.
