Organizational Management
Technology can promote greater efficiency and impact by facilitating better communication, project workflow and documentation, and financial management and fundraising. It also can improve operations and strategy through streamlining of program data. Though many available tools were created for business, they are viable solutions for any organization and are flexibly priced to accommodate scale. NTEN and TechSoup help nonprofits learn to use technologies to improve operations and provide access to free and discounted licenses.
