The GIJP Technology Program helps all GIJP participating organizations utilize technology effectively to reach their fundraising and outreach goals. The program offers various resources to help organizations learn about technologies and how they can be used to solve their business problems, or improve their current business processes. These resources include a monthly eNewsletter and a more frequently updated blog on topics of interest to nonprofit organizations.

In addition, the Technology Program offers individualized Technology Assessment for interested participating organizations. This approach allows the organization to strategically consider their needs and obstacles regarding technology, fundraising, and outreach. Recommendations are prepared to ensure the organization’s vision and next steps fit into their larger strategy, as determined with their GIJP Mentor. More informationa about the Technology Assessment can be found on the Resources page of this website.
