Q&A
NOTE: The layout and instructions for this master slide are included on the
assumption that you would want to use a different image on each section
break slide. If so, the images have to be inserted on the slides themselves.
And an orange circle has to be added in front of the image because the
circle on the master slide will get hidden when the image is added.

Notas do Editor

  1. Serving significant portion of society: Worldwide third sector comprised of and estimated 10+ million organizations employing a workforce of 47.6M contributing 5.9% of total GDP. A large portion are the digitally and socially excluded. They understand the digitally and socially excluded. 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
  2. Technology transforms NGOs When they can get it When they can learn how to use it When it can accelerate their work Several factors elevate NGOs’ need for help with technology: Economic gaps The rapid evolution of technology An abundance of tech choices that can overwhelm and confuse (the cloud, mobile, so many options) NGO staff may be skilled in an issue or a service, but are not always tech experts Technology companies are willing and often eager to donate products and services, and there are NGOs who need the technology. However, to connect companies and NGOs remains a challenge. Access to technology is essential, but context is key: NGOs need local technology “know-how” and support For NGOs to use technology effectively, they need solutions. TechSoup Global works with many NGOs and many partners to create solutions that are easy to share, replicate, and scale. “Today, technology is the social catalyst empowering communities in all corners of the globe to improve their lives and shape their collective future. Modern technology is opening floodgates of information and influence historically reserved only for those in power.” – Jeff Skoll, philanthropist and social entrepreneur, founder of Skoll Foundation and first president of eBay.
