💙Client Spotlight: Avenidas

We’re proud to support Avenidas, an incredible nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of older adults and strengthening community connections.

The Situation

Avenidas had an expired AT&T agreement at one location and legacy pricing that hadn’t been reviewed in years. Like many nonprofits, their focus is on serving their mission, not constantly auditing telecom contracts.

Meanwhile, large carriers rarely call to say, “Hey, you’re overpaying — let’s fix that.”

What We Did

• Re-negotiated and renewed their AT&T internet services at one site
• Upgraded HQ bandwidth to 4x capacity
• Optimized pricing based on current market rates
• Ensured alignment between performance needs and budget realities

Why This Matters

Nonprofits are often the most underserved segment in IT and telecom. They don’t have large internal teams focused on cost optimization, and they shouldn’t have to.

Every dollar saved on connectivity can be redirected toward programs, services, and community impact.

For Avenidas, this meant:

• Better performance
• Modernized infrastructure
• Reduced risk from expired agreements
• Improved value without unnecessary spend

This is exactly why Cloud9 exists — to proactively advocate, optimize, and make sure mission-driven organizations aren’t left paying outdated rates.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support Avenidas and the important work they do in our community. Helping organizations like this operate more efficiently — without distraction from their mission — is what motivates us every day.

If you’re a nonprofit, school, healthcare provider, or community-focused organization and haven’t had your contracts reviewed in a few years, chances are there’s opportunity hiding in plain sight.

We’re always happy to take a look, advocate on your behalf, and make sure your technology is working for you — not against you.

That’s the Cloud9 promise.
