AWS for UK Nonprofits
Using technology to drive mission impact and innovation
Overview
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is helping nonprofit leaders reach their mission-critical goals through cloud innovation. Tens of thousands of nonprofits worldwide use AWS to increase their impact and advance their missions. A secure cloud platform with lower operating costs and more agility returns funding and focus to the good causes that define your purpose. Together, AWS and its competency partners can accelerate your mission goals – improving the performance of websites and fundraising platforms, using data to become more effective, propelling research, and upgrading social housing.
Give everyone what they need
Digitising charity
Use the cloud to deliver your mission in an increasingly digital world. AWS can help you pave the way for innovation in every area of your operations – from donor outreach and fundraising, to volunteer drives and employee engagement.
Building membership
Attract, retain, and nurture members from further afield than ever. With AWS cloud services at the core of your business, and member-facing services, you can take a full view of all customer channels – and better understand how to engage them.
Accelerating Research
Research funders, institutions and laboratories use cloud services to make complex workloads more cost-effective, scalable, and secure. The AWS cloud is making it easier for researchers to share vast datasets to accelerate research and collaboration.
Enabling housing for all
Housing Associations are using the cloud to drive cost savings and simplify tenant services. The AWS cloud can help you manage supply and demand to identify those most in need – improving quality of living and reducing homelessness.
Solve your biggest challenges
Digital transformation
Cloud-enabled technologies like contactless payments, virtual events, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence are helping help NPOs digitally transform, find new and better ways to fundraise, connect with audiences and operate efficiently.
New income streams
Government grants are scarce and social investment may not be the right fit. When you want to turn to the public or private sponsors to raise funds or create new income streams, we can help make communication with your audiences more regular and more effective.
Security
Meet core security and compliance requirements in areas like data locality, protection, and confidentiality. Using AWS, Non Profit Organisations (NPOs) can gain the control and confidence to operate securely with a flexible and secure cloud computing environment.
Social housing management
Social housing managers must identify priority repairs and dedicate resources appropriately. AWS uses data to help you guide these essential decisions – to make sure your time and money are going to the areas they’re needed most.
Make more of your infrastructure
Simplify migrations with microservices
Save costs with AWS microservices during your cloud migration. Our serverless deployment pipelines and infrastructure-as-code reduce the operational costs of technical legacy debt by up to 90%.
Build a cohesive digital workplace
With a remote and agile cloud-based environment, including secure virtual desktops, application streaming, enterprise search, video calls, contact centres, and more, we can help you build a cohesive digital workplace.
Increase the intelligence behind decisions
Improve engagement with data, artificial intelligence (AI), and personalisation. We can help you gain a better understanding of your audience for more effective targeting – enhancing the service behind every interaction with your audience.
Secure sensitive research data
Protect the datasets that your research relies on. Trusted Research Environment (TRE) on the AWS cloud is a self-service research solution for securing and analysing sensitive data flexibly and at scale .
