Services · solidarity · partnerships
Connect needs, expertise and resources.
IBCSC builds useful collaborations with nonprofits, schools, municipalities, companies and public-interest organisations in Belgium. A mission can be a professional service, affordable support, a shared project or a long-term partnership.
Every request is assessed against its usefulness, scope, available resources and the team’s actual capacity.

Three ways in, one standard of care.
Choose the starting point that fits your situation. IBCSC may recommend another format when it is fairer or more sustainable.
Affordable or shared support
For a nonprofit that must strengthen its digital foundation with limited means.
- Website, domain and email
- Accounts, backups and support
- Tools or software shared by nonprofits
Strategic partnership
To fund, equip or strengthen a public-interest programme.
- Free programmes for young people
- Infrastructure, fibre, servers or lab
- Expertise, research and dissemination

Handover
Access, documents, decisions and the next priority are handed over clearly.
Any active security testing requires written authorisation and an explicit scope.
Boundaries that protect both parties.
Cooperation relies on realistic expectations. Service limits are not hidden behind a general promise.
- An owner and a scope are identified before delivery.
- Active security tests require written authorisation.
- Licences, hosting and other third-party costs are separated.
- No 24/7 SOC or emergency response is assumed without an explicit agreement.
- Data access is limited to what is strictly necessary and handled confidentially.
- Domains, accounts and data remain in the requester’s name with a documented handover.
Where should I start?
Choose the sentence that sounds most like your situation.
Frequently asked questions.
The essentials before getting in touch.
Can a small nonprofit start with a limited budget?
Yes. CoopIT, the social access programme and shared funding allow an organisation to begin with its priority foundation. Admission still depends on the need, available capacity and third-party costs.
Are paid services compatible with a nonprofit mission?
Yes. They fund technical capacity, education programmes and public-interest actions. Every service remains transparently scoped and priced.
Can IBCSC fully replace our IT department?
IBCSC can cover a defined scope, but does not promise unlimited support or 24/7 coverage without a specific agreement. Responsibilities are set before work starts.
Can several nonprofits cofund the same software?
Yes, when their needs are sufficiently similar. Governance, ownership, access, data and future costs must then be agreed together.
Can a partner control IBCSC analyses or publications?
No. A contribution may support a programme or infrastructure, but it does not grant control over conclusions, editorial choices or the organisation’s independence.

In a few lines, describe your organisation, the problem to solve, the people affected and the deadline. IBCSC will guide you to the most coherent format.
