A US study discovered large numbers of their local nonprofit groups were struggling with outdated technology, if they even had computer equipment.

This puts the nonprofits at a real disadvantage.

… NPower Indiana has released a study of local nonprofits that found that 85 percent were working with outdated computers or operating systems, and that many lacked even basic technology equipment and standards:

On an average day, most Indiana businesses take for granted that they have a working computer with IT support. Yet 85 percent of local nonprofits participating in a recent technology study are constrained by outdated PCs or operating systems, which can seriously affect their system’s stability, efficiency and ability to run current software. And more than half of these organizations are vulnerable to email viruses and phishing attacks.

… “most nonprofits have an opportunity to improve their productivity and service impact by addressing technology issues,” said Mike Harmon, NPower Indiana CEO. “Many nonprofits tell us ‘I don’t know what I don’t know’ when it comes to technology, so this helps them understand where they may be at risk.”
