This document summarizes a presentation about technology options for nonprofits. It discusses that (1) technology options for nonprofits range from millions to billions, but most nonprofits have not kept up with technology; (2) nonprofits typically spend less than 10% of their budget on administrative costs including IT; and (3) managing IT projects requires requirements gathering, design/build, product evaluation, and deployment. The document then discusses opportunities for nonprofits in cloud computing and how technology, when implemented properly, can help nonprofits move from paper-based to data-driven and achieve sustainable impact and return on investment. It emphasizes that people and processes are still critical alongside technology.
