SharePoint for Nonprofits

Yes – nonprofits and foundations are a significant part of SharePoint Maven’s client base. The work spans board collaboration sites, grant documentation libraries, program operations intranets, and admin training for executive directors, operations managers, and IT contacts.

Yes. SharePoint Online is included in Microsoft 365 Nonprofit licensing at significantly reduced rates (often free for qualifying organizations). All SharePoint Maven configurations use the out-of-the-box features available in those tiers – no add-on licensing, no third-party tools that would create separate procurement cycles.

Yes. SharePoint document management projects organize grant documents by funder, program area, or fiscal year using metadata. Multi-year grants stay coherent across staff transitions; renewal applications and final reports draw from prior cycles instantly. Retention is enforced according to funder requirements.

Yes, I do. Nonprofits get the same fixed-fee pricing all clients receive – already among the lowest in the SharePoint consulting market, with no minimums, no retainers, and no add-on tools to license – and I offer additional nonprofit discounts on top of that. Just mention it when we scope your project, and I’ll work it into the quote. The free Microsoft Teams course in the Academy is fully available to your team as well.

Yes. SharePoint Online’s permission model supports the granular access control needed for donor privacy and beneficiary confidentiality. Sensitive records can be scoped to specific staff, sharing controls prevent accidental external exposure, and audit logging tracks access for compliance review.

SharePoint Maven uses the same fixed-fee pricing across every industry. Hourly consulting is $350/hour with no minimum. SharePoint intranets are $4,800-$6,400, fixed-fee. Document management projects are $2,400-$4,200, fixed-fee. Live training is $950 per 2-hour session with unlimited attendees. Pricing is flat and published – no proposal negotiation cycle.

Intranet projects typically run 5–8 weeks from kickoff to delivered training. Document management projects run 3–4 weeks. Hourly consulting can start within one week of purchase. Timelines are agreed up front and don’t slip – fixed-fee means no mid-project change orders or scope additions.

Greg Zelfond does every engagement personally. There are no subcontractors, junior consultants, or offshore teams. You work directly with Greg from the first call through delivery and training. Because of that, SharePoint Maven runs roughly one engagement at a time – reach out a few weeks before your preferred start window to confirm availability.

Yes – that’s a primary design goal. Every project is built using out-of-the-box SharePoint features, with no custom code and no third-party tools, so your IT staff or site administrator can manage and extend the environment using the same admin tools that Microsoft documents publicly. Every project includes both admin training and site owner training.

Yes. Live training sessions ($950 per 2-hour session, unlimited attendees) can be booked as part of a rollout to train staff or administrators. On-demand SharePoint Maven Academy courses ($60 each, with volume licensing for teams) work well for ongoing onboarding as new people join. Both options are taught by Greg personally.
