Apologies for cross postings. Shameful self-promotion below....
We are excited to announce the release of our newest report based on a survey of 1,036 Indiana nonprofits.
If you are among the many Indiana nonprofits who responded to the survey, THANK YOU! As promised, our interactive online data tool will be available for your use this summer.
This report addresses a very timely issue for Indiana nonprofits: the extent to which they use different types of information technology tools to interact with stakeholders (externally-focused IT) and manage internal operations (internally-focused IT) as well as how challenging they find it to apply IT resources or develop IT capacity. We analyze how these patterns vary by type of nonprofit.
Selected highlights:
• Those that use Information Technology resources more extensively, generally report more IT challenges.
• Controlling for all other factors, larger nonprofits and those with more organizational components in place-more formalized organizations-are more likely to use both internally and externally focused IT resources, as are arts and culture organizations.
• Controlling for all other factors, younger nonprofits are also more likely to use externally-focused resources, while those that rely mainly on government funding or fees and sales revenues are less likely to do so.
• Controlling for all other factors, nonprofits with more board vacancies report more IT capacity challenges, while education nonprofits are less likely to do so.
