Before we get started I want to make sure everyone is comfortable using Readytalk, the webinar platform we are using today. You can chat using the box in the lower left side of your screen. At any time let us know if you have any technical issues such as audio problems or being able to view the slides. You may ask questions for our presenters at any time and we will keep track of them. We will keep all lines muted so that you can get a clear recording to refer to later. You will get that full recording, slides, and any links we share today in a followup email from me by tomorrow. If you lose your connection, you can go back to your registration email to reconnect.
If you were registered more than an hour ago, the reminder email has the PowerPoint slide deck attached as a link in the right hand column. Keep in mind a lot of today’s webinar will be a live shared demo so that won’t be in the slides, but will be in the recording to view later. If you are hearing an echo, you may be logged in twice, so you will need to close one of the Readytalk windows. If you have any other technical issues, dial into the 800 number.
TechSoup Global doesn’t just help NGOs overcome barriers to effective use of technology. We also help NGOs overcome language, economic, geographic, cultural, knowledge, and access barriers.
We create new ways to access technology, new paths to connect and network, and new means to learn and develop skills — all so that NGOs can operate at their full potential, more effectively deliver their programs and services, and better achieve their missions.

Economic crisis, changes in technology and lack of in-house technology management elevate need for affordable technology solutions with appropriate context
Several factors elevate their need for help with technology: economic crisis, fast paced and confusing changes in technology (the Cloud, mobile, so many options), and it really takes solutions. How do you figure out what really works when you are an expert in mental health issues or elder care and you have no in-house IT expert on staff?
Gap exists between nonprofit needs and technology product donor capabilities
Private technology companies, it turns out, are willing to donate. They know this isn’t a market for them due to its inability to pay and its costs to serve (fragmentation, level of support needed).
Access required but context is key: local tech “know-how” and support
The contributions of many are leveraged to create “solutions” that work and are easy to share, replicate and scale – and the technology is used to develop services which promote digital inclusion aims
