100% free labor · For Monterey County 501(c)(3) nonprofits

Why we do this

Good IT shouldn't be a
luxury for nonprofits.

Ghosxt was built by an engineer who spent years securing systems where the stakes were high and the standards were higher. The same care that protects a business shouldn't be out of reach for the organizations doing the hard work in our community.

Too many Monterey County nonprofits run on a personal Gmail, a forgotten domain, and a website nobody can update — not because they don't care, but because real IT help has always cost money they'd rather spend on their mission. Ghosxt Cares is our way of closing that gap: we donate the setup so the technology fades into the background and the work can come first.

org online — done right.

Basic Website

A clean single-page website deployed on your hosting — enough to establish your online presence.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Our labor is 100% donated — you pay nothing for the setup work. The only costs are third-party fees we can't waive, like domain registration (about $12/year) and any hosting. Microsoft 365 is free or deeply discounted for eligible nonprofits.

There's no catch. We're a local managed IT provider giving back to the community that supports us, and there's no obligation to ever become a paying client.

Active 501(c)(3) organizations based in Monterey County. We take one organization per quarter so each one gets our full attention.

Most setups are completed within a couple of weeks of our kickoff call, depending on domain registration and Microsoft's nonprofit approval timelines.

Setup includes a one-hour onboarding session and handover documentation so your team is self-sufficient. If you ever want ongoing managed support, it's available separately — but it's never required.

Ghosxt Cares is focused on Monterey County for now, but reach out anyway — depending on your needs we may be able to help remotely or point you to the right resource.
