The number of people in the nonprofit sector choosing to work remotely is increasing exponentially, thanks to cloud-based tools that have made it easy to access work projects and assessments anywhere and anytime.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact remains that coordinated efforts and communication are of the utmost importance for progress. Logistically, it has become a little more difficult to get teams around a table, face-to-face. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has added an additional layer of difficulty to in-person meeting with travels bans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonprofits have to now seek ways to adapt to the ever-changing world that technology has brought to us through reliable and easy to use <\/strong>video and web conferencing tools.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past 4 years, TechSoup has partnered with Zoom. The fact that it offers NPOs a 50 percent discount through TechSoup\u2019s marketplace has made it possible for numerous nonprofits to connect within their own organisations and networks.  In 2019 TechSoup announced that Zoom extended its discount program<\/strong> to all nonprofits registered on the TechSoup Programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This offer directly translates into an improved ability to deliver on the network’s promise to provide organisations around the world with the technology and knowledge they need to better serve their communities and address the world’s most pressing issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
