Tech Is Everyone's Job | NTEN
Tech Is Everyone's Job | NTEN: "Let’s face it: It’s 2015. Technology is a central part of how we do our work, communicate, and even fundraise.

When everyone in the organization is participating in decision-making, budgeting, testing, and invested in effectiveness, those technology staff are the instrumental leaders creating and supporting organization-wide processes, plans, and strategies.

5 Low-Cost Technology Resources for Nonprofits - Tech Impact Blog - Leaders in Non-Profit Technology: "The average nonprofit budgets 1-2.2% of total annual spending for technology, according to the 2014 Nonprofit Technology Staffing and Investments Report from NTEN.
