Why Nonprofits & Churches Are Facing a Stewardship & Administrative Risk

Why “Retail Store” Printers Drain Ministry Budgets Many nonprofits try to save money by purchasing consumer-grade printers from big-box stores. This creates a “False Economy” that hurts stewardship:
  •  The Ink Trap: Consumer ink cartridges cost up to 5x more per page than managed commercial toner.
  • Volunteer Frustration: Complex interfaces confuse volunteers, leading to wasted paper and support calls.
  • Security Risks: Unsecured retail printers leave donor financial data vulnerable to network breaches.

Mission-Focused Use Cases

For Ministry Admins: The “Volunteer-Proof” Workflow

We know that churches rely on rotating volunteers. Benchmark configures Xerox ConnectKey devices with simplified, one-touch apps. A volunteer can walk up, press “Print Bulletin” or “Scan Checks,” and the system handles the settings automatically—no IT training required.

For Finance Teams: Protecting Donor Privacy

Donor trust is your most valuable asset. Our devices include Secure Print Release, ensuring that contribution reports and tax receipts never sit unattended in the output tray. We help you maintain compliance with data privacy standards for charitable giving.

For Program Directors: Professional Materials In-House

Stop outsourcing expensive printing. Our Hybrid Color Plans allow you to print high-quality newsletters, event flyers, and visitor cards in-house for a fraction of the cost of a print shop. You pay only for the color you use, not a flat “color click” rate.

Organizations choose Benchmark because we provide:

  • Clear, honest recommendations without upselling

  • Local support teams that are easy to reach

  • Predictable service plans that simplify budgeting

  • Solutions that reduce administrative workload, not increase it

Our goal is simple: help your organization spend less time managing paper and more time serving people.

Make Sure More Of Your Budget Supports Your Mission

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can Benchmark helps us reduce the cost of printing weekly bulletins?

A: Yes. We often reduce bulletin printing costs by 30-40% by moving churches from expensive inkjet cartridges to commercial laser toner. Our Hybrid Color billing also ensures you don’t pay “full color” prices for pages with just a small logo or header.

Q: Are your systems easy enough for elderly volunteers to use?

A: Yes. We customize the touchscreen interface to remove complex settings. We can create large, easy-to-read buttons for common tasks like “Copy Bulletin” or “Scan to Office Manager,” minimizing confusion.

Q: Does Benchmark offer discounts for 501(c)(3) organizations?

A: Yes. We have access to special government and nonprofit pricing tiers from Xerox. We pass these savings directly to our clients to ensure your funds go toward your mission, not your overhead.
