I started work on the E-Mediat project over a year ago. The project is being managed by IIE and builds on a highly successful program launched in the Middle East five years ago, Women in Technology. The bootcamps will be an opportunity for the ngos they trained to meet and share knowledge.

Before raising the hopes of any community, one of the first things an NGO should ask itself is: After we leave, what will remain in the community, and is it something they want and can sustain? We think it is both unethical and unfair to train people on the technical side without also giving them the tools to keep the operation going.

According to our 2012 NGO Global Cloud Survey , collaboration is already one of the top ten current uses for cloud-based software among charities. We work together in grant-funded projects, with teams of volunteers, with public agencies, with other nonprofits. I used it to project manage our recent global NGO cloud survey.

Military Assistance Project. My days as an Ally are behind me, but the passion remains: in December of 2012 I found myself on a plane bound for a Tanzanian NGO. Toting my understanding of international development, and my NGO experience, I figured I knew to expect the unexpected. In fact, the NGO was led by them.

After taking a break, I felt a lot like Hank – I just wanted to keep on resting. But in the quiet and last days of 2012 and the reflective moments in the new year, it was time to face the new year! It was a time to focus on family and health (I had my gallbladder removed).

I’m well acquainted with the big digital inclusion projects in the U.S. and was completely surprised at how African projects like MyDigitalBridge are getting low-cost Internet to low-income people in a mostly rural country. An NGO with A National Mandate. MyDigitalBridge is an NGO that started its work fairly recently.

Through projects that integrated statistical analyses into multidisciplinary human rights work, we engaged in the public debate about human rights violations in Colombia.

In 2012 , IT product donations started to open up to nonprofit foundations. NGOsource is a project of the Council on Foundations and TechSoup. The process for clearing an NGO to receive a grant is much faster and much less expensive than it used to be — starting at $250 per equivalency determination.

We not only kept that promise, but our family went on to support various projects in Cambodia through the Sharing Foundation and through the connections I made through my first blog, Cambodia4kids. I tweeted about visiting a wild life and the NGO offered a great tip about not missing the sun bear via Twitter. p/N5Kf7LlZpl/.

I started GuideStar India as a project of GiveIndia, as there was no single reliable and comprehensive database of non-profits in India. We wanted to equip users with the tools to choose organizations and projects that matched their criteria or decision set, and to facilitate that, we needed to be inclusive.

Taking part in Giving Tuesday can mean many different things—from participating in an organized service project to donating to a nonprofit to smiling at a stranger. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 at the 92nd Street Y’s Belfer Center for Innovation and Social Impact in New York City. When did Giving Tuesday begin?

The Forecasts for 2012. I guess a good place to start is looking back at forecasts from January 2012. Andrew Cohen of Forum One did one called 12 Big Trends in Nonprofit Technology for 2012. His big prediction was that 2012 would be a breakout year for mobile computing in nonprofit tech. The Cloud in 2013.
