Another example was to help Youth Homeless Shelters. They interviewed them and found out that homeless teens want one thing – jeans. Kids learned about homelessness. The data set has been stripped of personal information and now available on a creative commons license at Crisis Trends. I was lucky enough this morning to hear Nancy Lublin’s opening keynote at the Data On Purpose conference hosted by the Stanford Social Innovation Review.

But there's a good chance that you'll need to purchase additional licenses or make customizations to meet your needs or solve your specific problem. Create a Training and Adoption Strategy. A training and adoption strategy can help alleviate this resistance and give everyone involved a clear plan for going forward. And lastly, your training and documentation should be ongoing, even after you've adopted new technology.

Effective Has the usual suite of donor management tools like a database and business rules regarding contacts management, etc No per seat licensing fees Can’t stress this enough as I think it’s a terrible model going forward for nonprofits. Raiser’s Edge is costing nonprofits an arm and a leg right now in terms of licensing fees. I agree with the per seat licensing complaint. I use Oracle, and it is licensed by type and number of CPUs.

These clients are homeless so without our org’s snail mail address they could not effectively communicate with the outside world. Practically everything — checks, letters from family and loved ones, communications with parole officers, the whole gamut of communications between a homeless client and his or her social services. They a have a great training and certification program to help developers get started.

Initially, after conversations with a lot of domestic workers, we realized that the women really wanted to have negotiation training. We developed negotiation training to develop the capacity of the women to be able to ask for better working conditions, better wages, which is something that the women said they that had no understanding of, no access to those levels of skills. Women would tell all of these incredible stories throughout the negotiation training. License.

APRIL 18, 2007

A nonprofit organization that provides support for homeless in Northern, CA found references to homeless people on restaurant blogs and used what they learn for a fundraising campaign.
