The ideal solution is a carrier that has its own true DDoS mitigation platform, and does not rely on black hole routing . Have the carrier handle the the large bulk flood attacks, then have your own prem base mitigation platform take care of the more application specific attacks that get through .
This represents the best solution , and also the most expensive . So it may not work for a non profit.
