Since my first campaign in November 2006, I've raised over $200,000 - half of that prize money from Yahoo/NetworkforGood and Parade/Case Foundation.

Initially, the shift from "accidental techie" to a career NPtechie is more about a change in your own attitude than anything else. Many orgs don't have money for consultants, but many consultants do discounted work for non-profits, and there are grants for consultant services out there, too. Are you a career NPtechie?
