Several forthcoming conferences will discuss the future of technology use by non-profit organizations.
* The National Charities Information Bureau is holding an invitation-only conference entitled “E-Philanthropy: Technology and the Nonprofit Community” on October 22 at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Building in Washington. Participants will discuss the current state of on-line philanthropy.
The meeting is being sponsored by the AOL Foundation, in Dulles, Va.; Charitableway.com, a Palo Alto, Cal., company that collects on-line donations for charities; and GreaterGood.com, a shopping Web site, based in Seattle, that allows consumers to donate a portion of their purchases to charity.
* The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Telecommunications and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program will hold its annual “Networks for People” conference in Arlington, Va., on November 1-2.
The program awards matching grants to non-profit organizations and state and local governments to integrate technology into education, health-care, public-safety, and other projects.
The conference is free; a registration form is available at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/otiahome/tiiap/index.html.
