⭐ Industry specialty
Nonprofits and faith-based organizations punch above their weight on impact — and below their weight on IT budgets. The good news: Microsoft, Google, and most major IT vendors offer nonprofit pricing that can cut your tech spend 60-90%. The bad news: most nonprofits never apply for it, or apply and don't know how to use it. Buckeye Telecom specializes in stretching nonprofit IT budgets — capturing every grant, discount, and donation program available, then building a real IT stack on top of it.
“Microsoft will give your 501(c)(3) free Office 365 licenses for up to 300 users. Google will give you $10,000/month in free Google Ads. We make sure you actually get both.”

What we do for this industry
Carrier-neutral internet
We compare every carrier serving your buildings — fiber, fixed wireless, DIA, cable — and pick the right mix. Same prices as going direct, with our advocacy when something breaks.
Hosted VoIP & UCaaS
Replace aging phone systems with cloud-based voice that works on desk phones, computers, and cell phones. Survives outages, scales with growth, and costs less than what you have.
Managed IT & cybersecurity
Endpoint protection, patch management, MFA, backup, dark-web monitoring, and 24/7 SOC for the data your business depends on.
SD-WAN for multi-site
Connect multiple locations with private-network performance, automatic failover, and centralized management. Designed and supported across all major SD-WAN vendors.
Microsoft 365 & cloud
Email, file sharing, Teams, identity, and device management — configured with the security controls actually turned on.
POTS line replacement
AT&T is sunsetting copper. We migrate fax, alarm, elevator, and entry lines to modern alternatives before your service goes dark.
Real client work
How we helped a client like you
We helped a Columbus-area church save $14,000/year by migrating to Microsoft 365 nonprofit licensing, hosted VoIP, and a livestream-grade internet circuit — while improving their service quality.

Frequently asked
What nonprofit pricing programs do you help us access?
The big ones: Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits (free for up to 300 users on basic plans, deeply discounted for premium), Google for Nonprofits (free Workspace + $10K/month Google Ads grant), TechSoup (discounted hardware and software), Zoom Nonprofit, Box Nonprofit, Adobe Nonprofit, and most managed-IT vendor partner programs. We handle the application and ongoing eligibility tracking.
We have very limited budget. Can you still help us?
Almost certainly. Most nonprofits we work with reduce their IT spend after engaging us — not because we're cheap, but because we eliminate waste, capture donations and discounts they were missing, and put the right stack in place. We always start with a free audit so you can see the numbers before committing.
Do you understand church / ministry IT needs specifically?
Yes. We support multiple Ohio churches and faith-based organizations and understand the specific needs: livestream-grade internet for Sunday services, sanctuary AV integration, member management platforms (Planning Center, Breeze, Church Community Builder), pastoral care confidentiality, and the unique challenges of volunteer-staffed IT.
