Mobile hardware planning, sorted.
A pro bono offer turning mobile hardware uncertainty into a practical plan for NFPs.
Phones are tools of the trade. But when device records are unclear, older handsets are still in use, and replacements happen reactively, it can be hard to know what needs attention first.
Our latest pro bono offer from Dog and Bone's Impact Program helps you understand what you have, what's creating risk and what to prioritise next.
One less thing for the 'we really should sort this out' list.
Closes 30 October 2026.
Start with the webinar, or jump straight in
Not sure where to start? Join our webinar, Smarter Mobile Hardware Planning for NFPs. If you know your fleet needs attention, and haven't had time to untangle it, this is for you. We’ll walk through the key things to check before you buy more phones, decisions to get right, role fit, Apple v Samsung and more.
Ready to get moving? Go straight to the review - download the device list template, fill out the form and we'll tell you what devices need replacing and why.
Before small device issues become big service ones
A phone might look fine on paper, but creates risk if it's not:
-
Compatible with newer mobile networks, 5G or satellite messaging
-
Updated with the latest OS, firmware and security patches
-
Manageable through a mobile device management platform
-
Reliable enough for field work, battery life and critical access needs
-
Secure if it’s lost, reassigned or used by changing staff
Who should take part
This offer is best-suited for NFPs managing 50+ mobile devices.
It's designed for organisations who know their fleet needs attention, but don't have a clear view of their mobile hardware, including whether devices are fit-for-purpose, supported, secure and practical to manage.
We’ll look at areas such as connectivity, Apple vs Samsung, MDM readiness, security, device age, tech funds, procurement options and refresh planning.
This Impact Round forms part of Dog and Bone’s Impact Program: pro bono services that help not-for-profits make the most of their technology and maximise their impact.

Case studies and articles
Smarter mobile management: More than just a better price
Mobile devices, vital tools for field staff, health workers and office teams, can slip through the cracks when it comes to oversight and planning. Managing mobile devices at scale can quickly become a costly, complex distraction. In this article, we unpack why outsourced, company-owned devices offer a far more effective approach, and why both self-managed and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) models often fall short.
