The US-based group dotOrganize has released a new study that compiles insights from more than 400 social change groups, technology providers, and nonprofit technology capacity builders who are using new technologies for social change initiatives. Online Technology for Social Change: From Struggle to Strategy shows that groups are still struggling in their effort to make use of new and emerging technologies, and that, regardless of size and financial situation, organizations feel strapped for time, money, and know-how. The authors assert that, “As a sector, we need to develop new and innovative ways of approaching this ongoing issue. This may include strategizing about creative financial possibilities, multi-agency partnerships, and incentives that encourage providers to allocate resources toward this population.” Other recommendations include the development of an online resource hub for the organizing sector, and an online searchable database of potential integrators.
