mduffy — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 18:26:17 -0500

Technology plans are great, but how are you going to pay for all the new equipment, training, and staffing costs your plan requires? There are no silver bullets when it comes to fundraising, especially during tough economic times. Here are ten tips to help you find the funds you need to implement and sustain your critical technology strategy.

1. Build strong relationships with funders.

2. Incorporate technology into your annual strategic plan.

3. Focus on your mission and your program, not technology for technology's sake.

4. Budget technology expenses as shared costs, not overhead.
