Community Good initiative
Registered not-for-profits and charities get 50% off Lavawall.
Donor records, health information, volunteer files, and payment details sit on the same small budget as everything else you run. Lavawall® gives registered charities and not-for-profits 50% off the whole platform, and ThreeShield gives 10% of its consulting back to registered charities.
50% off the whole platform, not a stripped-down version
The discount is half price on Lavawall, the same platform a paying MSP runs: patching across Windows, macOS, and Linux, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection, remote support, the password vault, file monitoring, and the full GRC and compliance module. Nothing is held back for the not-for-profit tier. It is the whole thing at half the price. Take it month to month, or save an additional 17% by paying annually (two months free), in Canadian or US dollars.
We verify your registration once, and the discount carries on for as long as you hold that status. There is no separate contract and no minimum term.
Training and compliance built for your sector
Not-for-profits rarely do one thing. A single organization can run a food bank, a thrift shop, a shelter, and a donation portal at once, and each one carries its own rules. Lavawall® and ThreeShield cover the ground you actually stand on.
Vulnerable sector and safeguarding
Screening, safeguarding practice, and handling records for volunteers and staff who work with children and vulnerable adults, with the access controls and audit trail to prove it.
Healthcare and community health
Health information under PIPEDA and the provincial health privacy acts, for hospices, clinics, counselling, and disability services that hold some of the most sensitive data you can.
Faith organizations
Churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues run on member lists, giving records, and a rota of volunteers. Training and controls that fit a congregation, not an enterprise IT department.
Education and youth programs
Schools, tutoring, and youth programs holding student and family records, with awareness training pitched for staff and volunteers rather than security specialists.
Manufacturing, transport, and food services
Social enterprises, community transport, food banks, and community kitchens, with the operational and supplier-facing security a working charity needs, not just office IT.
Donations, fundraising, and card handling
Donation portals, event ticketing, and recurring giving mean you take card payments, which puts you in PCI DSS scope. We help you take donations without pulling your whole organization into that scope, and keep donor data protected.
Naming a rule or a sector is guidance, not a certification of your organization. ThreeShield confirms what applies to you as part of setting the discount up.
Free security awareness training for schools and community groups
Beyond the discount, we provide free security awareness training to schools and community groups. Phishing, passwords, and the safe handling of the data you hold, in plain language for staff and volunteers rather than security specialists. Good habits should not depend on a budget. Ask about free training, or see the wider Community Good commitments.
Why not-for-profits are targeted, and under-protected
A charity holds exactly what an attacker wants: donor names and card details, member and client records, and often health or safeguarding information, all on a budget that rarely stretches to a security team. Grant funders and boards have started asking how that data is protected, and an incident at a charity costs trust that is far harder to rebuild than a refund.
The Community Good discount exists so the price is not the reason a not-for-profit goes without. You get the same platform, the same validated cryptography, and the same Canadian data residency a paying customer gets. See security and privacy and FIPS 140-3 support for how that is built.
ThreeShield gives 10% back
Lavawall is built and run by ThreeShield Information Security Corporation, a Calgary audit firm with CISSP- and CISA-credentialled staff. ThreeShield gives 10% of its consulting back to registered charities. When you bring ThreeShield in for a security assessment, compliance readiness, or audit-defence work, part of that engagement goes to charity, and the platform discount stands alongside it.
One relationship covers the tools and the people: the platform at half price, and an audit firm that gives back to the sector you work in.
Frequently asked
- How much is the not-for-profit discount?
- Registered not-for-profits and charities get 50% off Lavawall® under our Community Good initiative. It applies to the Lavawall tiers and modules. Take it month to month, or save an additional 17% by paying annually (two months free) if that makes sense for your organization, in CAD or USD. We verify registration once, and the discount carries on for as long as you hold that status.
- Who qualifies?
- Registered charities and not-for-profit organizations. In Canada that means a CRA-registered charity or a registered not-for-profit; elsewhere, the equivalent registration in your country. We confirm your registration number when we set the discount up, and that is the only check.
- What does ThreeShield donate?
- ThreeShield, the Calgary audit firm that builds Lavawall, gives 10% of its consulting back to registered charities. When you engage ThreeShield for an assessment or readiness work, part of that fee goes to charity, and you can put the receipt in your own impact reporting.
- Do you understand not-for-profit compliance specifically?
- Yes. We build training and compliance for the sectors not-for-profits actually run: vulnerable-sector screening and safeguarding, healthcare privacy, faith organizations, education, manufacturing and social enterprise, transport, food services, donation and fundraising handling, and PCI card compliance for the way charities take payments. The controls an auditor or a grant funder asks for are the defaults.
