The "Grants
for Non-Profits" Index summarizes grants recently
made available to non-profits
to support their missions, increase technology innovation,
and promote efficiency through technology. Many major
software manufacturers and hardware corporations have
made giving to
non-profits a high priority in their organizations,
which means now is the time to open up and utilize
offerings available to your group. Grants for efficiency
through technology are available for community development,
civic betterment, disabled or elder assistance, education,
faith-based social service providers, grassroots organizing
groups, health-care agencies, recreation organizations,
social service providers, technology centers and youth/after-school
groups or services. In addition, non-profits
will find grants that cut across all sectors. These
grants are available for non-profit-
business-education or community partnerships. They
support IT training for the non-profit
organization, whether staff or clientele and back
the need for graduating skilled workers, retraining
employees, and helping displaced workers meet such
special challenges as employment that will equip them
to work until retirement. Timely profiles of over
125 grant/funding/resource opportunities for technology
for non profit organizations are assembled in the
"Grants
for Non Profits" Index.
