Protecting Donor and Client Data at Nonprofits

Practical security for organizations that run on trust

  • Published March 11, 2025

Trust is your most valuable asset

Donors, clients, and volunteers share personal and financial information with your organization. A breach can damage relationships and funding that took years to build.

Where nonprofits are most exposed

  • Shared accounts and passwords among staff and volunteers
  • Personal devices used for organizational work
  • Donor databases and payment tools without multi-factor authentication
  • Phishing emails impersonating executives or vendors

Affordable defenses that work

  • Multi-factor authentication on email, donor management, and finance tools
  • Role-based access so people see only what they need
  • Security awareness training for staff and key volunteers
  • Tested, offsite backups of critical data

Put it in writing

Simple policies for data handling and acceptable use help boards and funders see that information is protected.
