The 4 sites every non-profit techie should know about:
- TechSoup.org, for discounted software
- Idealware.org, for software comparisons
- National Council for Voluntary Organisations, for their technology planning resources
- NTEN.org, to connect with the nptech community
And the 3 resources I think every small nonprofit should consider:
- Google Apps, for their free hosted email, calendaring and collaboration tools
- Dreamhost, for their free website hosting (and low cost domain registration)
- Salesforce, for their free Nonprofit Starter Pack database platform
To use the above 3 resources, you’ll need a broadband (fast!) Internet connection and computers. Here are the current basic desktop, laptop and netbook I recommend.
You’ll also need to keep your computer running smoothly. Here are my suggested system maintenance practices for Microsoft Windows operating system users.
Andy,
In you workshop yesterday you talked about putting a word document on facebook. I do not have that in my notes and cannot find it in the handout. Could you tell me again where to start?
