Education nonprofits quietly subsidize their software vendors — not because anyone is careless, but because no one's job is to watch for it. IT keeps systems running. Finance pays the invoices. HR picks the platforms its team needs. No one is benchmarking contracts against what peers pay, noticing license counts that have drifted past actual usage, or catching billing errors before they auto-renew.
Recovery is how we surface that and put it back into your budget. We audit what you already own and do the work to fix it — renegotiating vendors, right-sizing licenses, recovering billing errors, and consolidating tools that overlap. The savings are annual: money reclaimed this year stays reclaimed next year.
Where dollars typically get trapped:
There's no risk in looking. Our fee comes out of the savings we find, and only after the money has landed in your account. If we don't find anything, you don't get a bill — all the financial risk sits with us.
And every dollar recovered is a dollar back toward the mission. For a $20M organization, even a half-percent recovery is $100,000 a year — recurring. That's a program coordinator, a cohort of students, the margin between expanding a program and cutting one.
