Microsoft Corp. will give every employee in Asia three-days paid leave this year to pursue community service projects aimed at narrowing the digital divide in the continent, the company said Friday.
With 6,000 employees in the region, that adds up to 18,000 days of charity work, an amount of time Microsoft will set aside each year to pursue service projects in Asia.
The goal is to give 150 million more people in Asia access to technology and the Internet so they can learn how to use the information and communication tools online to help reduce poverty, improve quality of life, and tackle other issues."

Soaring costs. Lower ROI. Donor fatigue. Muddy data. What’s a fundraising organization to do? The key is improved analytics. New techniques and tools are available to fundraisers, including cutting-edge marketing automation technology that performs many of the functions that previously chewed up large chunks of valuable staff time. Because of these enhancements, one could argue that the overall outlook for data-driven fundraisers is positive. You see this reflected in the industry’s effort to produce “clean” data and to leverage it across multiple channels."

Valerie Harrington is not trying to be the next Oprah, but she is determined to help nonprofit organizations gain a higher profile by stepping in front of the camera as a television host.
Harrington is the executive director of Step Up. It's an organization aimed at mobilizing volunteers and matching them with the groups in need of their talents. She will begin conducting interviews in March with folks from 14 nonprofits in 30-minute taped segments produced by students at Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
The partnership between Step Up and HGTC will give nonprofits opportunities to use the free footage to promote their programs and services via television, on Web sites, during special presentations and in other creative formats, Harrington said.
'As much as I love Oprah, I don't believe I can fill her shoes, but I do hope to give exposure to the nonprofits that have little or no money in their budgets for marketing and things of that nature,' she said."
