NTEN Data Ecosystem Report Now Available
Today, we are very pleased to announce the release of the Data Ecosystem Report.
The data ecosystem is the collection of tools we use to manage all the ways we interact with donors, volunteers, activists, and supporters. We wanted to find out how happy organizations are with each of the tools they use, but also what tools make up their ecosystems, and how happy they are with those ecosystems as well.
We hope that, by broadening our view of the software question, we can acheive two things. First, we hope it gives you a resource for helping you make better software selection decisions. Secondly, we hope it helps software vendors better understand the challenges and needs of our sector so that they can address these issues.
So download the report, and share with us what this report means to you and your organization. We love to hear from you.
Cloud Computing for Small Nonprofits: Lessons Learned from 5 Years in the Cloud
Judi Sohn, C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition
When C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition started in 2005, cloud computing wasn't the buzz word it is today. It was simply the only way we could operate and build the organization.
We have never purchased a server and have no plans for one. The services and tools we use to run and build C3 have allowed us to expand and add programs while keeping our operating expenses low, maximizing every dollar we raise.
In honor of C3's 5 year anniversary we're celebrating this month, I present to my fellow techies in young nonprofits my 5 simple lessons learned from 5 years of operating in the cloud.
