Report Release: The 2010 Nonprofit IT Staffing and Spending Survey

Submitted by Annaliese on Wed, 04/20/2011 - 12:43pm

For many nonprofit organizations, as with the wider public and private business sectors, the last couple of years have been impacted by a general economic downturn. Did we see evidence of this in our annual Nonprofit IT Staffing & Spending survey conducted at the end of 2010? Well, yes and no.

Compared to previous years (this is our 5th year of conducting the survey), certain areas of investment did seem to drop. However, for the most part, investments in IT staffing and other areas stayed remarkably steady, and we even saw some year-over-year growth in some areas.

Flickr: CGCFlickr: CGCWhen it comes to the Nonprofit Technology Conference and NTEN membership, our organizational calendars always seem to move so much faster than the calendar on my wall. You'd think we were already in 2011 with all the 11NTC activity going on -- and now that October is here, we're activating memberships for the 2011 calendar year.

Even on vacation Beth Kanter manages to be helping nonprofits become more tech-savvy! How does she do it, you ask? Why, by inviting guests to blog! Some of us here at NTEN are pretty interested in geo-tagging and geo-locating tools and their potential for nonprofit application, so we are thankful for this guest post on Beth's Blog about 10 Ways Geolocation is Changing the World.
