GuideStar and Network for Good are conducting an online survey on diversity in the nonprofit world and how it affects charities’ use of technology. They are interested in learning, for example, whether organizations whose staffs are ethnically and racially diverse use the Internet differently than groups whose staffs are more homogenous. The organizations will be accepting survey responses through March 8. To get there: Go to http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/4708/2004_GS_NFG.htm.
