Most of the people they want to reach still are not online. Project Bread, a nonprofit dedicated to wiping out hunger in Massachusetts, maintains a Web site to publicize its annual spring Walk for Hunger marathon. The site is built and maintained by outside volunteers, which means it's updated only a few times a year. Project Bread would like to learn to do the work in-house, so the site can be updated at least monthly. We don't have the time to invest in making this the hottest site out there.
Some nonprofit sites are only one-person operations.
The Safety Zone site, for example, is run by Theresa Zubretsky, who is an activist against domestic violence, not a techie. The Safety Zone site disseminates information about domestic abuse. Because some severely abused people are afraid even to go out of their houses, the site is provided as a source for finding help without leaving home. Included on the site are tips on how to clear a browser's cache and document list so that an abusive family member can't tell that the person has accessed The Safety Zone site. Much of the content for The Safety Zone comes from the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, where Zubretsky recently took on her first computer job-as Webmaster.
