ARTICLE: Foundation helps nonprofits fetch tech upgrades (The Virginian-Pilot - HamptonRoads.com/PilotOnline.com): "Many nonprofits struggle to raise enough money to fund their operations, let alone keep pace with ever-changing technology. To help organizations like the local SPCA move into the 21st century, T he Norfolk Foundation has given more than $700,000 to 41 charities since 2000.

Considered a capital expense to nonprofits, technology upgrades are high priorities for the foundation.

“We understand these are difficult funds to get, and it can be a very expensive venture,” said Christina Morris , senior programs officer for the foundation. “We also know it is important that nonprofits have these capabilities so the human resources can be used on the core mission.”"
