Why MAITS
Enterprise-grade depth. Accessible community values.
MAITS was founded on the principle of doing technology right. We bring senior engineering, cybersecurity, and cloud capability to community organisations.
Cyber Security Depth
We protect enterprise cloud estates, identity fabrics, and sensitive systems. We apply those same security principles to protect community websites from defacement, malware, and credential compromise.
Respect for Your Autonomy
We never trap organisations in proprietary platforms or hold domains hostage. You retain 100% ownership of your website, assets, and data at all times.
Personal, Senior Attention
You work directly with experienced New Zealand and Australian practitioners who understand nonprofit constraints and provide pragmatic, honest advice.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about GoodWorks.
Clear answers to common questions about eligibility, migrations, support, and billing.
Who qualifies for MAITS GoodWorks?
Registered charities, charitable trusts, community trusts, incorporated societies, sporting clubs, cultural associations, and volunteer-led community groups across New Zealand and Australia are eligible. We verify community benefit rather than imposing bureaucratic barriers.
How does website migration work?
If you already have a website on another host, our engineers coordinate the transfer of files, databases, and DNS records. We stage the website first, test everything thoroughly, and cut over during low-traffic periods to prevent downtime.
Who owns our website content and domain?
You do. 100%. Your organisation retains full, exclusive ownership of your domain names, website code, graphics, and data. If you ever decide to leave MAITS, we provide a full export of your backups without fees or penalties.
Are there lock-in contracts?
No. Subscriptions operate on a rolling month-to-month basis. You may cancel at any time prior to your next monthly billing date by notifying us in writing.
What are the support hours?
Support is provided during standard business hours: Monday–Friday 8:30am–5:00pm (NZST / AEST), excluding public holidays. Subscriptions do not include 24/7 human standby, but automated monitoring operates around the clock.
What happens if we need custom web design or extra help?
GoodWorks subscribers access our preferential charity hourly rate of NZ$70/hr excl GST (AU$70/hr excl GST) for separately scoped work such as redesigns, custom forms, or additional advisory hours.
