Frequently Asked Questions about the Partner+ program
How do I register for the program?
What can we expect from office hours? What types of issues can we bring to office hours?
Office hours sessions are guided conversations during which members ask questions, learn from peer experiences, and discuss practical technology topics relevant to nonprofit operations. Here are some examples of topics we can discuss: cybersecurity, AI, tech policies, vendor referrals, hardware/software options, tech planning and other technology decision making.
Can I still benefit from an office hours session if I don’t have a specific question?
Yes. Sessions are structured and led by Apparo, so there is always something useful to discuss. We will engage together through guided prompts, emerging topics, and shared peer experiences.
How can I judge whether the content covered in office hours and the quarterly roundtables will match our tech expertise level and not be too advanced or too basic?
Partner+ sessions are designed to support a range of tech maturity levels. Whether you’re the “accidental techie” or have internal IT support, you’ll be able to participate and benefit.
How is working with Apparo through this program different than working with an outsourced tech service provider, help desk or troubleshooting service?
We are not an IT help desk or tech support team. Partner+ is designed for strategic guidance and peer learning, not device troubleshooting or “break/fix” support. The strength of the program is in our CIO-level strategic thought partnership. We are your partners in understanding, prioritizing and addressing your opportunities for improvement, so that you can increase your organizational resilience and do more to fulfill your mission. We help you strategize on how to move forward, plan key next steps and provide vetted referrals to trusted vendors.
What if our nonprofit already has an internal tech team or outsourced tech service provider?
Great! Apparo’s Partner+ program is the perfect complement to, not a replacement for these resources. We provide a sounding board, shared learning, and outside perspective.
What if our nonprofit does not have a tech team? How can Partner+ help?
At Apparo we understand that nonprofit technology resources can be limited. Partner+ can help you build confidence and clarity around technology decisions by learning from our Tech Therapy team, and through peer examples and guided discussions.
Will Apparo tell us exactly what to do?
No, the goal is to provide guidance, perspective, and shared learning so you can make better informed decisions and have clarity on next potential steps.
What types of outcomes can we expect?
Partner+ will deliver a clearer understanding of your options, peer insights, and practical next steps for thinking through your technology decisions.
Detailed scenarios to bring the power of Partner+ to life
Scenario 1: A nonprofit wants to improve security, but isn’t sure what steps matter most or where to start.
Office hours conversations can include:
- Practical ways to reduce risk that meet the nonprofit’s capacity
- What other nonprofits are doing for security tools, training, and safeguards
- How to think through vendor/service options without getting stuck in product jargon
How this helps: Participants get perspective and shared learning to make smarter, lower-risk decisions. This is helpful for all nonprofits regardless of their level of internal or external IT support.
Scenario 2: A nonprofit wants to use AI to increase capacity by streamlining administrative tasks, but is worried about creating confusion, compliance risk and unrealistic expectations.
Office hours conversations can include:
- Realistic AI use cases based on staff capacity and current workflows
- Safe adoption practices (what’s is and isn’t appropriate use of AI)
- Peer examples of how nonprofits are using AI for productivity, fundraising, and operations
How this helps: All participants gain insights grounded in what nonprofits can actually sustain, while avoiding common pitfalls and “shiny object” decisions. This is helpful for small organizations experimenting with AI and larger organizations looking for governance-minded approaches (and everyone in between.)
Scenario 3: A nonprofit knows they “should have policies,” but isn’t sure what is reasonable for their size and maturity.
Office hours conversations can include:
- Advice on drafting and improving practical tech policies and procedures
- Overviews of policies related to access practices, data handling norms, onboarding/offboarding basics
- What’s “good enough for now” vs. what can come later
How this helps: Peer insights and real-world examples help all participants learn about policy starting points and how to move from informal habits to repeatable practices. This is helpful for organizations who need structure, alignment and/or consistency.
