Non-profit technology Nonprofit technology is the deliberative use of technology by nonprofit organizations to maximize potential in numerous areas, primarily in supporting the organization mission and meeting reporting requirements to funders and regulators. Types of technology do not differ between nonprofit and for profit organizations. Nonprofit technology is differentiated by specific strategies and purposes. Numerous nonprofit organizations approach technology with an emphasis on cost effectiveness due to limited budgets. Definitional Issues[edit] Due to the topic's inherent breadth of reach and the constantly changing nature of technology in general, the sphere of nonprofit technology is somewhat difficult to define. Technology use associated with nonprofits is not dedicated in nature, that is, technologies and specific uses of such technology by nonprofits cannot be linked solely to the nonprofit sector.

lifehack If you have taken a glass or two of wine at bedtime in the past and felt a little guilty about it — rejoice! New research has found that this ritual might actually be good for your health — and even help you achieve your weight loss goals. What the Studies Found Two separate studies, one from Washington University and one from Harvard, both found a link between regular, moderate alcohol consumption and a healthy body weight. In the study out of Harvard, scientists looked at almost 20,000 women who were of a healthy body weight for 13 years and studied them for factors like weight gain, physical activity, and alcohol consumption. The Washington University study, which was performed on overweight female mice, found that the mice who were given extract of resveratrol, an active ingredient in red wine, produced more “brown” fat cells; these fat cells, as opposed to white fat cells, make it easier to lose weight and keep it off. The Studies in Context Other Health Benefits of Resveratrol

Nonprofit Technology | Technology Nonprofit | Nonprofit Software | Fundraising Software I Fund Accounting Software Email programs and support Financial Accounting for NPOs Although there are few laws or regulations that directly state how nonprofit organizations must operate their finances internally, there are many that have a strong indirect impact. These indirect influences include IRS reporting requirements and the accounting standards most funding agencies require supported organizations to follow. In practical terms, these "recommended" standards all but demand certain accounting and other financial practices be followed by nearly all nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofit Tech 2.0 Blog :: A Social Media Guide for Nonprofits How to Get Unlimited Free Trials Using a "Real" Fake Credit Card Number « Null Byte How to Get Unlimited Free Trials Using a "Real" Fake Credit Card Number When I see the words "free trial," I know I'm probably going to have to whip out my credit card and enter in the number to "not get charged." Then I end up forgetting about the trial and want to kick myself in the ass when I see my statement at the end of the month. In order to avoid that rigmarole, you can actually use fake credit numbers instead of your own, and you can do that using the site getcreditcardnumbers.com, which can generate up to 9,999 credit card numbers at a time, or just one. Now, to be completely clear, these numbers cannot be used to purchase any item. How Does It Work? The credit card number generator uses a system based off of the Luhn Algorithm, which has been used to validate numbers for decades. Getting a Card Number on Android There's also an Android application for getting fake card numbers called CardGen, available for free in the Play Store. Credit card image via Shutterstock
Ten Nonprofit Funding Models (March 16, 2009) For-profit executives use business models—such as "low-cost provider" or "the razor and the razor blade"—as a shorthand way to describe and understand the way companies are built and sustained. Nonprofit executives, to their detriment, are not as explicit about their funding models and have not had an equivalent lexicon—until now. M oney is a constant topic of conversation among nonprofit leaders: How much do we need? Where can we find it? Why isn’t there more of it? There are consequences to this financial fuzziness. In the for-profit world, by contrast, there is a much higher degree of clarity on financial issues. The value of such shorthand is that it allows business leaders to articulate quickly and clearly how they will succeed in the marketplace, and it allows investors to quiz executives more easily about how they intend to make money. The nonprofit world rarely engages in equally clear and succinct conversations about an organization’s long- term funding strategy.
