- Paying for Technology
Thursday, June 27, 2013, 11am - 12pm
Nonprofits organizations struggle to find funding for technology and tech infrastructure. When the majority of funds are spent on priority mission work, not much is left over. This problem is compounded by the ebb and flow of grant funding not always favoring the funding of technology. During this interactive online seminar, we’ll offer examples of strategies to sustain technology at your organization.
