Our staff have conversations with different people who want to start a nonprofit.  There’s a lot of paperwork involved when people go that route and may take people away from the work they want to do.  Often we encourage them to look to existing organizations to partner with rather than starting from scratch.  And awesome things can happen in a community group that's not an official 501c3.

Some local nonprofits met in our office yesterday to talk about technology needs.  We heard some common themes: desire to network with other IT professionals, finding a sounding board, and ideas to stay current with the latest technology trends.  Nonprofit staff also need help understanding what they even have in place, learning basic website design, developing a social media strategy, and </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CoastalCommunityFoundation/~3/COiDU9mdnh8/a-conversation-about-nonprofit-tech.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tina)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CoastalCommunityFoundation/~4/COiDU9mdnh8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><feedburner:origLink>http://www.ccfblog.org/2013/02/a-conversation-about-nonprofit-tech.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633144105350450477.post-6022604225516905453</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-02-01T09:49:29.045-05:00</atom:updated><title>Dr. Ted Stern: Richard Hendry's Recollections as a Newbie</title><atom:summary>




Collecting information about Dr. Stern for the biography he was writing last year, author and researcher Bob McDonald asked if I had ever seen Dr. Stern lose his temper in the three decades I knew him.  “Sure, I guess so,” I said – but then when I thought about it, I couldn't think of one instance – ever.

to recognize some, if not all, of CCF’s staff members.  Now, what in the world does each of us do?

In his farewell speech to the Board of Coastal Community Foundation in 1983, Malcom Haven said with pride: “I have been involved in the ever-growing force of individual initiative directed to helping a community solve the problems inherent in any community worth living in.” It’s a cool way to think about your life and your community. If it is worth living in, it is worth improving.
