A $0 Upfront Printer & Copier Program Built for Nonprofits
Free equipment, one simple per-page rate that covers service, toner, and parts — and no long-term contract. If your organization runs on grants, donations, and tight budgets, this program was designed for you. Nonprofits, churches, schools, and community organizations all qualify.
Low Operating Costs. No Upfront Investment. No Lock-In.
Traditional copier leases were built for corporations — long contracts, base payments, and buyout penalties. We rebuilt the model around how mission-driven organizations actually operate.
Free Equipment, No Upfront Cost
We place a certified refurbished multifunction printer in your office at no equipment cost. There's no capital purchase, no lease payment, and no down payment. The only upfront cost is a one-time $250 delivery and installation fee — and that includes full setup: print drivers, scan-to-email, and network configuration on every workstation.
One Per-Page Rate Covers Everything
You pay only for the pages you print. That single per-page rate includes all service calls, all toner, and all parts. No monthly minimums, no base charge, no surprise service invoices. When printing slows down between programs or grant cycles, your costs drop with it.
Cancel Anytime with 30 Days' Notice
No 36-month contract. No 60-month contract. No early termination fee and no buyout — ever. If the program stops working for your organization, give us 30 days' notice and we'll pick up the equipment. We keep your business by earning it, not by locking you in.
From First Call to First Print in Four Steps
Quick Qualification
A short screening confirms your organization qualifies. Registered 501(c)(3) status helps but isn't required — churches and community organizations without formal registration are approved regularly.
Device Matched to Your Volume
We size the equipment to how you actually print. Lower-volume organizations (under ~2,000–3,000 pages a month) receive a desktop unit; higher-volume teams get a full office multifunction printer.
Delivery & Full Installation
For a one-time $250 fee, we deliver the device and handle complete setup — print drivers on your computers, scan-to-email, and network configuration. You don't need an IT department.
Print, and Pay Per Page
From then on, you pay one per-page rate that covers service, toner, and parts. Toner ships before you run out, and a technician comes to you when the device needs attention.
We Earn Your Business Every Month. If We Don't, You Leave — No Buyout, No Penalty.
Most copier vendors lock organizations into 3–5 year contracts with early termination penalties, then let service quality slide once the ink is dry. Our program works the opposite way: because you can cancel with 30 days' notice at any time, we have to keep proving ourselves month after month.
Grant funding shifts. Programs wind down. Offices move. When your situation changes, your equipment agreement shouldn't be the thing holding you back.

Churches & Ministries
Congregations, ministries, and faith-based organizations — formal nonprofit registration not required.

Buying, Leasing, Refurbished Equipment, or Managed Print?
There is no single right answer for every nonprofit. The best choice depends on available cash, print volume, staffing, grant cycles, and how much operational risk your organization can comfortably manage.
| Option | Upfront Cost | Monthly Predictability | Service & Toner | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buy Equipment | Highest | Lower after purchase, but repair costs vary | Usually separate | Organizations with available capital and staff who can manage supplies, maintenance, and replacement planning. |
| Traditional Lease | Low | Predictable payment, often under a 36–60 month term | May be separate or bundled | Organizations comfortable with a long commitment and a fixed monthly payment. |
| Certified Refurbished Lease | Low | Predictable and generally lower than new equipment | Can be bundled | Nonprofits that want business-class reliability while keeping the monthly cost below a new-device lease. |
| New Equipment Lease | Low | Predictable, but typically the highest lease payment | Can be bundled | Organizations that need the newest security, finishing, workflow, or accessibility features. |
| ABT Nonprofit Program | $0 equipment cost | Usage-based; costs rise and fall with printing | Included in one per-page rate | Mission-driven organizations that prioritize cash preservation, predictable operating costs, and flexibility without a long-term lock-in. |
| Managed Print Services | Varies | Predictable fleet-wide operating cost | Included based on agreement | Organizations with multiple printers or locations that need monitoring, automatic toner fulfillment, reporting, and one accountable service partner. |
Our recommendation is based on the organization, not on pushing a specific device. If keeping existing equipment is the lowest-risk option, we will say so. If buying is more economical over the expected life of the device, we will show you the numbers. The nonprofit program is strongest when conserving cash and eliminating unpredictable service expenses matter most.
How Different Organizations Use the Program
Printing needs vary dramatically across mission-driven organizations. We match equipment and service to the work being done rather than forcing every organization into the same copier package.
Churches & Ministries
Weekly bulletins, event materials, volunteer packets, donor correspondence, and administrative printing — with costs that can flex when seasonal activity changes.
Private Schools
Classroom materials, enrollment packets, testing, parent communication, and office workflows supported by equipment sized for real student and staff volume.
Human-Service Nonprofits
Client forms, case files, outreach materials, grant documentation, and program reporting with service included so staff are not diverted into printer troubleshooting.
Housing Organizations
Applications, closing packets, volunteer documents, project records, and donor materials for organizations such as Habitat affiliates and community development groups.
Museums & Cultural Organizations
Membership mailings, exhibit support, educational handouts, event materials, and back-office printing without tying up funds in depreciating equipment.
Foundations & Grantmakers
Board packets, grant applications, award documentation, financial reports, and correspondence supported by secure and dependable office equipment.

Nonprofit Program FAQ
Yes — that's exactly what this program is built for. Instead of a traditional lease with monthly payments, your nonprofit receives the equipment at no cost and pays one flat per-page rate that already includes service, toner, and parts. There are no monthly minimums, so your operating cost scales directly with how much you actually print.
The equipment itself is $0 — no purchase, no lease payment, no deposit. Your total costs are a one-time $250 delivery and installation fee (which includes full setup: print drivers, scan-to-email, and network configuration) and a flat per-page rate for the pages you print. That per-page rate covers all service, toner, and parts, so there are no other invoices.
No. Registered 501(c)(3) organizations qualify automatically, but we also work with many churches, ministries, and community organizations that aren't formally registered. A quick qualification screening based on the work your organization does is all that's required.
No buyout, no termination fee, ever. This is not a 36- or 60-month contract like traditional copier leases. If the program stops working for your organization — funding changes, an office move, anything — simply give us 30 days' notice and we'll pick up the equipment. That's the entire exit process.
Certified refurbished multifunction printers — professionally inspected, fully serviced business-class machines that print, copy, and scan. We match the device to your actual volume: organizations printing under roughly 2,000–3,000 pages per month typically receive a desktop unit, while higher-volume teams get a full office MFP. Because service and parts are included, keeping the equipment running well is our responsibility, not yours.
Everything required to keep the device running: all on-site service calls, all toner (shipped automatically before you run out), and all parts including drums, fusers, and rollers. There are no separate service contracts, no hourly labor charges, and no monthly minimums — you pay only for the pages you print.
In every market Advanced Business Technology serves — 22 cities across South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon, and Idaho, plus the surrounding communities around each. If you're near one of our service areas, the program is available to you with local ABT technician support.
Yes. Churches, ministries, private schools, academies, preschools, and other mission-driven education organizations are among the groups the program was designed to support. Formal 501(c)(3) documentation is helpful but is not always required.
Yes, when the device is properly selected, inspected, and supported. ABT uses certified refurbished business-class equipment, matches it to the organization's volume, and includes service and parts in the program. That means equipment reliability remains our responsibility throughout the relationship.
We can assess the equipment you already own before recommending a replacement. In many cases, keeping a reliable device and adding service, supplies, monitoring, or managed print support may be more economical than replacing it. Our goal is to recommend the lowest-risk solution for the organization, not to replace equipment unnecessarily.
