Goal
Project Connect will be the first point of contact for all technology
needs in the Ohio nonprofit community.
Belief
Nonprofit organizations can better serve their mission when they use
technology to increase efficiency and improve communications among their
clients, other nonprofit agencies, and the general community.
Mission
Enable nonprofits throughout Ohio to better serve their mission by
building technology capacity and improve the use of technology and
connectivity in business operations, service delivery, and
communications.
Impact
By focusing on providing underlying infrastructure and capacity
building, Project Connect’s programs improve service delivery, business
operations, and mission fulfillment so that the stronger, more capable
nonprofits can serve more clients
Need
There is an expressed need for technology assistance in the nonprofit
community throughout Ohio, offering us an opportunity to expand the
program significantly. In a recent survey of 129 nonprofits throughout
Ohio, 100% of the respondents indicated a need for some sort of
technology assistance – technical support, infrastructure, training,
etc.
Vision
Every interested nonprofit organization in Ohio will have access to affordable,
expert technical assistance and training to better serve their agency mission
and clients.
The Nonprofit Advantage
Project Connect’s unique niche of nonprofit expertise differentiates it from
other enterprises. We have demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the sector
and have a history of providing viable solutions to nonprofits of all sizes and
missions.
Nonprofits value Project Connect’s first-hand knowledge of how they function. We
understand how nonprofits are managed, how they get their funding, and what
processes they have to go through to get projects implemented. We work with
their system: providing proposals that focus on how improvements will impact
mission, meeting with board members and funders, and more.
Project Connect has earned a reputation in the nonprofit community as a valuable
resource for technology planning and implementation, providing direct services
to an average of 200 nonprofits per year.
