Technology Won't Do The Work For You with Paul Morris

Nonprofit SnapCast

Show Notes

Paul Morris of Foundry Fundraising visits the SnapCast to talk about your technology and making the right technological investments. Among the things we discuss:

Technology won't do the work for you and doesn't solve all your problems. No matter how shiny it is

Nonprofits are woefully underinvesting in the technology tools needed, especially for development

Nonprofits don't have to invest wildly, they can and should be smart about it

The right tools supports the work

The impact of this underinvestment? Wasting a ton of time - staff, stakeholders, volunteers, donors.

The risk to not investing has short-term and long-term impacts
