We believe that it is important for nonprofit administrators to have the tools they need to effectively provide services, manage their organization, and demonstrate the agency's effectiveness to funding agencies and donors. Technology can be one of those tools. There are misconceptions about the kinds of technology that nonprofits are using. Information Insights has developed software solutions for business and government, where it was safe to assume that the client had relatively new computers and current versions of software. But we know from experience that the technology available to nonprofit organizations often lags behind the private and public sectors.
Many nonprofits rely on the donation of used computers and software from businesses and individuals.
While these contributions are greatly appreciated, this means that nonprofits are usually two steps behind in technology. The Nonprofit Technology Survey focuses on nonprofit hardware, software and Internet access. Take a minute and complete a survey.
