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.
