Beginnings

Over the past ten years, I've seen the nonprofit tech sector grow by leaps and bounds. We attend conferences, increasingly savvy clients come in already asking for Drupal or CiviCRM, and nonprofit-focused consulting is proving a viable business model for a rapidly growing number of organizations (including ours!). The technology, too, has evolved tremendously; the Drupal-based sites we consider "standard" today would have been impossibly expensive even three years ago.

Ironically, it's still easy to lose sight of the digital divide, even as we help nonprofits bridge it.
