One of the key ingredients to the technologies we support is that they in and of themselves are free. The license is GPL and APGL or in other words they are free and will always be free.

You can take them and put them on your own servers even in your office and never have to pay again to run them.

What we do is provide them in a package so they are ready for your office to use and train you on how to use them.

Websites that can grow with your organization for many years to come starting at $1000 for one of our templates. You will be able to easily update your own site with no help from us after training. No special software, just login and update the site. Overall your website can become another resource for your organization to bring attention to your cause and not just another technology expense that does not seem worth it.

Contact Database is another facet that you may not be able to afford waiting on till the economy is better. Imagine how much a webbased contact management system can do to help

1. Raise money online with integrated online donations and pledges
2. Mass email right from this database no more importing and exporting to Constant Contact
3. Manage Events in one database and follow up each year with emails and snail mails.
4. Forums to give attendees a place to share ideas after it is over
5. On line membership tracking
6. Grant and Case tracking

So again a technology that for $10 a month (on our servers and FREE on your own servers) can give you the tools you need to increase your efficiency in raising money and staying connected to those that want to be a part of your cause.

The desktops in the office, another place that waiting till the economy gets better before speeding things up can cost more then it saves. Image spending only $1,500 - $2000 to make every computer in your office (up to 20 computers) run faster then the first day they where purchased? And with a little training you will have access to

1. Modern Office Software
2. Shared Calendars
3. Photoshop like graphical software
4. Publishing software
5. Database suite
6. Audio / Video editing software
7. Full nightly backups so you never lose a days worth of work.

These Open Source (these free technologies) have always been a good choice to help limit the impact of the digital divide are now in a position to help us to keep moving forward to go beyond the limits of the economy as they bring us together from around the world to help us make the causes we believe in possible.
