Los Angeles nonprofits face the same ransomware, phishing, and compliance pressures as billion-dollar enterprises—without billion-dollar budgets. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), community clinics, and other 501(c)(3) organizations safeguard some of the most sensitive data in the country, yet enterprise-grade security pricing has historically been priced for enterprises. The Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program (NITEP) changes that math.
Understanding the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program starts with one idea: nonprofits should not have to buy security alone. NITEP combines the endpoints of every member organization into a single purchasing pool, so a 20-endpoint clinic buys with the leverage of a 1,300-endpoint enterprise. Every approved 501(c)(3) receives an automatic 20% discount on Boom 365: MSSP Pro, our flagship managed security service, plus a pooled volume rate that keeps falling as the program grows.
Key Takeaways
- NITEP gives every approved 501(c)(3) organization an automatic 20% discount on Boom 365: MSSP Pro managed security
- Members buy at the pool’s size, not their own—every endpoint from every member counts toward one shared volume tier
- The rate structure runs 17 pooled tiers, from $80.00 per endpoint per month at 1,000 endpoints down to a $70.00 program floor at 5,000 and beyond
- As of July 2026, the pool stands at 1,358 managed endpoints, placing every member at $78.40 per endpoint per month
- A 20-endpoint clinic saves $15,984.00 per year today compared to the published standalone rate—and $18,000.00 per year once the pool reaches the floor
- Eligibility requires 501(c)(3) status and a minimum of 20 managed endpoints, with a short application on the program page
Overview
This article walks through how the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program works, what pooled purchasing means for your budget, and what your organization receives as a member. We’ll cover the tier structure, run the numbers for a typical community clinic, and explain the eligibility requirements. Throughout, we’ll show how NITEP connects to our broader security operation, including the 24/7/365 dedicated SOC team behind Boom 365: MSSP Pro.
You’ll also learn how the program supports the compliance obligations that FQHCs and community clinics carry, from HIPAA to funder security requirements, through our Compliance as a Service (CaaS) capabilities. If you’d rather see your exact rate first, the live pricing calculator on the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program page shows what your organization would pay at today’s pool size.

What Is the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program?
NITEP is Boom Logic’s pooled-volume purchasing program for 501(c)(3) organizations. Every approved member receives an automatic 20% discount on Boom 365: MSSP Pro, our flagship managed security service. But the discount is only half the story. NITEP members don’t buy at their own size—they buy at the pool’s size. Every endpoint from every member counts toward one shared volume tier, so a 20-endpoint clinic pays the same per-endpoint rate as the largest organization in the program.
One pool. One tier. One rate—for every member.
How Pooled Pricing Works
Managed security pricing has always rewarded scale, and most nonprofits simply don’t have it on their own. NITEP fixes that by combining every member’s endpoints into a single volume commitment. The program’s rate structure runs 17 pooled tiers, beginning at 1,000 combined endpoints and stepping down to a program floor of $70.00 per endpoint per month once the pool passes 5,000.
As of July 2026, the NITEP pool stands at 1,358 managed endpoints, which places every member at $78.40 per endpoint per month. Each time the pool crosses into a new tier, every member’s rate drops—automatically, with no renegotiation and no paperwork. Growth anywhere in the pool benefits everyone in it.
What the Numbers Look Like for a 20-Endpoint Clinic
Consider a community clinic with 20 managed endpoints. At our published standalone rate for that size, the clinic would pay $145.00 per endpoint per month. Inside NITEP today, it pays $78.40—a savings of $1,332.00 per month, or $15,984.00 per year. When the pool reaches the $70.00 floor, that same clinic saves $18,000.00 every year.
For a nonprofit, that difference is real capacity: a staff position, a program expansion, or a year of community outreach funded by nothing more than smarter purchasing.
What Every NITEP Member Receives
NITEP pricing applies to Boom 365: MSSP Pro, our managed security platform backed by a 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC). Members receive the same continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response that our cybersecurity clients in healthcare and other high-compliance industries rely on—there is no nonprofit-grade version of the service, only a nonprofit-grade price.
Because Boom Logic owns and operates its own infrastructure—cloud, network, and systems, with a presence in the world’s top-rated data centers, One Wilshire and Equinix—members get one accountable team behind their security, their cloud, and their support. Members also receive published NITEP rates on BoomTalk™ VoIP—$16.00 per user per month on Essentials, $20.00 on Professional, and $45.00 on Call Center, billed annually—and on BoomTalk™ Live, 20% off published rates—$32.00 per user per month on Essentials and $40.00 on Professional—with a $1,000.00 one-time setup and a five-seat minimum. Members who also run Boom 365: MSSP Pro qualify for deeper BoomTalk™ Live rates again. Current program rates are always published on the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program page.

Common Questions About the Nonprofit IT Empowerment Program
Q: How does pooled pricing help a small nonprofit with only 20 endpoints?
A: On its own, a 20-endpoint organization sits at the top of any standard rate card—$145.00 per endpoint per month at our published standalone rate. Inside NITEP, those same 20 endpoints join a pool of more than 1,350, so the organization pays the pool’s tier rate of $78.40 instead. The automatic 20% nonprofit discount is already built into that number, and it applies from day one of membership.
Q: What happens to our rate as the NITEP pool grows?
A: Your rate steps down automatically. The program runs 17 pooled tiers, and every time the combined endpoint count crosses a threshold, every member’s per-endpoint price drops—no renegotiation, no contract amendment, no action on your part. The structure bottoms out at a $70.00 program floor once the pool passes 5,000 endpoints, which means each new member that joins moves everyone closer to the best rate.
Q: Is NITEP limited to healthcare organizations?
A: No. Any 501(c)(3) organization with at least 20 managed endpoints can apply. The program grew out of our work with FQHCs and community health clinics, so healthcare-grade security and compliance support come standard—but arts organizations, educational nonprofits, social services agencies, and faith-based organizations all qualify on the same terms and the same pooled rate.
Q: What do we need to submit with our application?
A: The application asks for your organization’s details, proof of 501(c)(3) status such as your IRS determination letter, your Employer Identification Number (EIN), your managed endpoint count, and the services you’re interested in. Our team reviews each application, verifies nonprofit status, and confirms your pooled rate before anything is signed. Program terms are outlined in the membership agreement.
