Funding nonprofit tech is a key trend for 2022. But how can you be sure you're funding the right kind of projects—projects that will set organizations up for long-term success rather than chasing trends or implementing unnecessary or unadopted tech?
This two-hour workshop will provide important context on the role of technology in a nonprofit's success and will provide a framework for making funding decisions.
During the session, we will explore case studies, relevant data, and open discussion on the following topics:
- How to evaluate a technology plan (and help an applicant develop one)
- The role of staffing and skills in successful technology adoption
- Balancing investment in program-related technology with the need for operational technology
You'll hear from the following grantmakers:
- Victor Cordon, Senior Manager, Social Impact, Okta for Good
- Donell Hammond, Director of Technology, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
- Khalilah Burt Gaston, Executive Director, Song Foundation
Whether you're a program officer or an IT director, this workshop is key for understanding how to listen deeply to nonprofit tech needs and respond by building funding strategies specifically for technology.
