Charity for Schools and Not-For-Profits

Being that almost every school and not for profit I have ever seen is in horrible condition as far as budgeting and tracking their assets.  I am pondering either giving away, or charging an incredibly low fee for product subscriptions to schools and not for profits.  I'm going to consult an accountant before announcing this on my website to find out what kind of benefits there are for my business besides the warm fuzzy feeling I'll get from helping these organizations better manage themselves.  I'm also hoping that this will start generating word of mouth so I can easier get paying business clients.

Has anyone else here done charity development work?  What are your experiences with it?

That is an awesome idea. My experience with schools, charities and non-profits is that they are in desparate need of just about everything. Anything that helps with administration, be it asset management, content management, donor tracking, and so forth, means more time they can spend doing what they do best. As you said, your exposure can lead to many more opportunities. There's also a great satisfaction and blessing that comes from helping these types of organizations. They appreciate your time and support so very much.
