As I wrote this post on the flight back from my third NTEN Conference I know I felt similar to many of the other 1,600 “NPTechies” (Nonprofit Techies) who are leaving San Francisco. I know work in the nonprofit sector is serious and sometimes tough business. We are all lucky to have her at the helm of NTEN.

This year's Day of Service featured three different projects - a computer recycling project and installation of a wireless network in Washington, DC's largest homeless shelter and meal preparation at DC Central Kitchen.

It has always bothered me that nonprofits are measured in dollars and cents, and that we’re all lumped into the same pot. Give books to needy children or build a performing arts center? Beth Kanter.

We're big fans of the video work Mark Horvath has done with Invisible People , his site dedicated to giving homelessness a name.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics. And, he thinks that NTEN should be responsive to him, as a member, in asking to publish web stats.

In general, there isn't a lot of media coverage for local nonprofits, and when there is, it's usually to uncover a scandal rather than to highlight nonprofits that are doing excellent work. And some of them do darned great work. I also am able to work flexibly because I can do emails from my iphone. That's a great question!
