Wow! 2009 is off to a roaring start!
We are launching a new 3-year Community Technology Initiative this month thanks to the generous support of the Knight Foundation. The Initiative will help dozens of nonprofits use collaborative and shared technology to increase efficiency and extend their reach.
Our newly launched technology support offering, "Scheduled Services", is already operating at 5 organizations. We have a great team in place to deliver consistent, high-quality support and advisory services to our clients. Digital Ball 2009 will be the premier, not-to-miss technology event this April with outstanding support from across the IT community.

NPower Charlotte Region Receives Grant
NPower Charlotte Region has received a $2.75 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation for a three-year initiative to transform how nonprofits use technology to solve community problems.
The Powered By NPower Community Technology Initiative will involve a quarter of the region's nonprofits in a bold leap forward to facilitate collaboration among local nonprofits and to stabilize nonprofits' infrastructure.
"Technology can truly transform an organization's efficiency and ability to effect change," Susan Patterson, Knight Foundation's Charlotte program director said. "All of Charlotte will benefit from our local organizations' ability to better address the community's most pressing problems."

NPower Launches New Service Offering
On October 1, 2008 NPower launched Scheduled Services: a fully comprehensive solution for nonprofit technology support. NPower's consulting work with Charlotte region nonprofits revealed the need for reliable, proactive, and affordable tech support.
NPower Scheduled Services includes help desk support and scheduled onsite maintenance visits at a fixed monthly rate to help organizations stabilize and maintain their technology infrastructure. Regular strategic reviews focus on planning for future needs and target technology areas that will help the organization operate more efficiently.
Starting with two lead clients in fall 2008, Foundation For The Carolinas and The Duke Endowment, Scheduled Services has grown to five clients under support with plans to extend services to 40-50 clients over the next two years.
"The strategic review process of Scheduled Services has helped us prioritize our technology improvement goals," said Deb Watt, Sr. Vice President of Finance and Operations, of Foundation For The Carolinas. "This has enabled us to focus our resources in order to achieve the greatest impact." What is Scheduled Services? |
