Every year we survey the nonprofit technology community (via our members, program participants, and other like-communities) to learn two main things:
- How are WE doing, as an organization, to make your work easier, and your mission a little closer?
- How are YOU doing, as someone who works with technology and/or the nonprofit sector, in terms of your job role, tech-adoption, and organizational challenges?
Earlier this spring, we collected responses from 1000 folks and have analyzed and reported back that data for you in this report.
Key Findings
- Satisfaction with NTEN programming overall, among members and non-members, is up over previous years.
- 84.7% of NTEN members feel that their membership helps them be more effective in their work, an increase of nearly 5% over 2008 responses.
- 93% of NTEN members would (or have already) recommend membership to their colleagues.
- There is an “NTEN Effect” among respondents when it comes to Technology Adoption and Leadership levels: NTEN members are likely to rate themselves and their organizations higher along the adoption spectrum as compared to their nonprofit colleagues. NTEN members are also more likely to have leadership roles at their organizations when it comes to technology planning and implementation.
- “Running effective email campaigns” has supplanted “Managing my web site” as the highest-rated challenge area among respondents.
The other thing we do every year in conjunction with this report is offer one lucky respondent the chance for a complimentary Nonprofit Technology Conference registration -- survey respondents entered their names for the drawing -- and, drum roll please:
Wanda Remmers, from Housing Rights, Inc., is this year's winner!
