Enabling Technology Funding:

Society today is increasingly about information. Accurate and timely information is the new wealth, empowering decision-making and enabling action across the full range of society. In the nonprofit sector, the ability to collect, store, analyze and distribute information is a key component of building and maintaining civil society. Technology has enormous power to advance nonprofit missions. However, we believe that the majority of both nonprofit leaders and grantmakers have yet to embrace this fact and act on it. Our goals in this position paper are to help grantmakers understand that shift in attitude and to provide tools they can use to evaluate the information management portion of funding requests.
