Community groups

NTEN's community groups are at the heart of everything we do.

They’re where nonprofit staff come together to share what’s working, ask for help, and learn alongside people who understand their day-to-day realities. Across local tech clubs and online groups, nonprofit workers find peers, mentors, collaborators, and practical guidance on nonprofit technology — along with relationships that make the work feel more sustainable and less isolating.

Tech clubs are regional and local groups of nonprofit professionals who host in-person meetups to learn and connect. Each group is community-driven, setting its own direction based on local needs and interests.

Online groups are virtual spaces formed around shared interests or identities to help nonprofit professionals find others like them. These groups connect members through discussion boards and virtual meetups.

BIPOC Nonprofit Professionals

**For BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community members only** The intention of this online space is to hold space for community members of color who want to gather, connect, and engage without doing so alongside white colleagues. This racial affinity forum allows community members of color to center and prioritize their specific needs, voices, and experiences (both professional and personal) in an online setting, without introducing the potential of harm or trauma from well-intentioned white allies. Posts and comments are to be treated as private and confidential, and may not be replicated or shared outside of this group.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity impacts nearly every aspect of your nonprofit and is something that many organizations may not consider until they need to respond to an incident. Nonprofit staff, and those that work with them, across teams, departments, and mission areas are invited to use this group for discussion, sharing resources, and peer support. This online group does not provide crisis response support or legal advice.

Data

This group is for those interested in learning and sharing about all things data-related for nonprofits. The Nonprofits and Data group is for people using data to serve a mission, either directly or by improving nonprofits and the nonprofit sector. That includes everything from collecting data and managing databases to analytics, data visualization and data mining. Here are some examples of topics we discuss: using data to improve organizational effectiveness, measuring impact, using data for storytelling, tools for data management and analysis, figuring out the “right” data to collect, and learning skills to help us use data better.

Digital Communications

For those doing digital strategy work, including written or multimedia content for nonprofit websites, social media, and e-newsletters. This group is for those digital communications folks who create written or multimedia content for websites, social media, and e-newsletters for nonprofits. Members will discuss topics such as social media trends, digital analytics, developing content, storytelling, planning and resources, content strategy, and more.

Digital Inclusion

Help close the digital divide! Join us in supporting digital inclusion initiatives, sharing best practices, and showcasing digital inclusion programs. Digital Inclusion refers to the activities necessary to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, have access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Members of this group will discuss topics related to digital inclusion including (but not limited to) digital literacy, internet access, technology for people with disabilities and older adults, and making technology more accessible.

Drupal

If you work in a nonprofit using Drupal, or you work with nonprofits using Drupal, this is the group for you! Stuck on something? Have a question? Drupal experts are on hand to answer questions! You don't need to be a member of NTEN to participate in the monthly calls — feel free to invite colleagues and spread the word.

Equity in Nonprofit Tech

Looking to further equity in your nonprofit or tech company? This is a group for those exploring the intersection of technology, equity, and the nonprofit sector. This group was first created after NTEN published the Equity Guide for Nonprofit Tech. If you haven't explored this free, public resource, we encourage you to do so: https://www.nten.org/equity-guide-for-nonprofit-technology/
