Technology Topics Featured in On-Line Magazine

September 23, 1999 | Read Time: 1 minute

A new on-line magazine, Nonprofit Toolkit, provides in-depth information about technology issues facing non-profit organizations.

Although it is published by Arts Wire, a project of the New York Foundation for the Arts that helps arts organizations better use technology, Nonprofit Toolkit aims to reach the leaders of a variety of non-profit groups. Arts Wire’s director, Joe Matuzak, says that the publication was created for administrators who don’t have time to keep up with new developments in technology and who aren’t sure where to start when they do need to tackle technology problems at their organizations.

Each month, the magazine will focus on one subject. The September issue, for example, examines fund-raising software. It includes a tutorial that explains how fund-raising data bases work and what fund raisers use them for, as well as a case study describing a small Philadelphia charity’s experience with fund-raising software. The issue also offers advice on how to select fund-raising software, reviews of several software packages, and links to software vendors.

Future issues will discuss telephone systems and how to work with technology consultants.
