Building Stronger Nonprofits Since 1984
68% of nonprofits lack access to the resources they need to grow. ESCH bridges that gap with expert consulting, tailored assessments, practical training, and IT support — all designed to help you go farther, faster.

ESCH–UH IT Partnership Program

Affordable, real-world tech solutions — powered by students, guided by experts.
Technology is critical to nonprofit success — and we’re here to help you level up.

Through our long-standing partnership with the University of Houston C.T. Bauer College of Business, ESCH matches nonprofits with talented UH student teams, mentored by experienced ESCH consultants.

 

Together, they deliver customized IT solutions that drive real impact:

  • New or Improved Websites

  • Social Media Development

  • Database Design & Integration

  • Google Ads & Analytics Setup

  • IT Infrastructure Upgrades

  • Automation & Cloud Integration

​​

This hands-on program strengthens your nonprofit’s operations while giving students valuable project experience. Projects run during the Fall and Spring semesters, with registration open each January and August.
