This exactly. For most small non-profs, basic IT upkeep - i.e. cleaning adware, patching vulns, getting backups set up and tested - is going to be so much useful than occasional airdropped code with no regular/timely maintenance plan |

Non-profits are pretty bad at documenting requirements, or having any sort of automated testing, so you go in and upgrade some things, or patch some things, and they're still going to need training... and they're still going to need an organization-wide test to make sure everyone can still get what they need out of the tech. Inevitably someone will have some plugin that isn't compatible with the upgraded version, or someone will have some service that needs to get re-built to fire reports nobody knows about until they don't show up in the right inboxes.
Money the org can use to hire a staff member who will be a "permanent" fixture is always going to be better for them than someone coming in and doing work and not sticking around to support it.
