Every nonprofit wants to decrease its IT budget so more funds can directly benefit its mission. Part of a technology budget that sometimes gets overlooked, however, is an organization’s print infrastructure.
Truth is, many charitable organizations simply don’t have the staff, resources or experience to make strategic decisions about their print technology that will save money and serve them for years to come. That’s why nonprofit organizations are ideal candidates for Managed Print Services (MPS).

A Managed Print Service removes the burden of managing your print environment and reduces costs over time. It also allows you to focus your efforts on your organization’s mission rather than worrying about copier repairs, running out of toner, securing your print data, outsourcing print jobs and more.
It’s helpful to see what other nonprofits have to say about MPS to help determine whether it’s the right move for you. Here’s what some nonprofits shared in an independent survey of over 5,000 customers of Gordon Flesch Company, a top MPS provider in the Midwest.
The polished, eye-catching marketing materials of large corporations may seem out of reach for most nonprofits. However, with today’s advanced printing technology, you can print quality promotional materials in-house at a fraction of the cost of outsourcing.
In addition to savings costs, nonprofits need to ensure their sensitive print data remains secure. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Westerville, OH, needed to control costs and deploy more secure printing technology. Senior Pastor, Jonathan Bull, said that the decreased downtime and added printing security from GFC are incredibly valuable, and he is extremely satisfied with the full line of products provided.
Thanks to GFC’s relationship with Canon (the largest independent Canon dealer in the U.S. for nine consecutive years ), the church was able to get new machines that offered data security and higher-quality church bulletins and other materials.

The Palatine Township Senior Citizens Council (PTSCC) encourages independence and well-being for older adults and their families. The organization needed to control technology costs, recycle waste and deploy more efficient print technology.
After a print needs assessment, Gordon Flesch Company recommended its MPS with imageCARE+, featuring automatic meter reads, Just-In-Time (JIT) toner delivery and recycling options. “When I had to take bids for a new copier, I dealt with one other firm. I was not impressed by their pushiness and their inability to listen to what our needs were,” said Nancy Klintworth, Administrative Director, PTSCC. “The Gordon Flesch Company representatives gave me their full attention, listened and were able to provide us with what we needed.”
