so How Many Microsoft Products Can My Nonprofit Request from TechSoup? By feeds.techsoup.org Published On :: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:30:00 GMT https://blog.techsoup.org/posts/how-many-microsoft-products-can-nonprofits-request Here is the short answer to the question of how many Microsoft products you can request: You can get 50 of each kind of product in a two-year period — but there are some exceptions. See Microsoft products What do you mean by "each kind of product"? The Microsoft Donation Program divides products into categories called title groups. See the current list of 37. A title group contains products that serve essentially the same purpose, like PowerPoint and PowerPoint for Mac. You can get products from 10 title groups in your two-year cycle. When does this two-year cycle start and end? Is it the calendar year? No. Your nonprofit has its own two-year cycle. Your first cycle started the day you requested your first Microsoft product through TechSoup. You can see when your current cycle ends on your Microsoft Donation Center page. Outlook and PowerPoint are both title groups. Does that mean we can get 50 of each product? That's right. They can be all the Windows version, all the Mac version, or a mixture of the two. And you will be able to request products from eight more title groups. What are the exceptions you mentioned? They have to do with servers. Microsoft offers two licensing models for its server products. Core-based licensing. This licensing is based on the number of cores in the physical processors of your server machines. The product page on TechSoup will tell you whether the server uses this type of licensing. You can request up to 50 of these products from each title group, the same as desktop products. But you might have to request more than one product to fully license all the processors in your server. Non-core-based licensing. You can request a total of five server products that do not use core-based licensing. They can be from a single title group or from different title groups, but the total cannot be more than five. A lot of the title groups are for CALs and MLs. What are the limits for these? You can get 50 from each title group. CALs, or client access licenses, give you access to a server from a device like your desktop computer. MLs, or management licenses, let your device be managed by a management server. Where can I find out more? This article goes into a lot more detail and gives examples of how the various allotments work together. spanhidden Full Article microsoft
so How Data Intelligence Is Accelerating Innovation for Social Good By feeds.techsoup.org Published On :: Fri, 22 Sep 2017 14:45:00 GMT I am often asked what I see as the biggest potential game-changers in tech — particularly as it relates to social good. Mobile, social, the cloud, and analytics continue to emerge as key themes. However, analytics is emerging as the true game changer — catalyzed by advances in open architecture. Let me unpack what I mean by "open architecture." Open means that anyone can access it, contribute to it, and innovate on top of it. At Blackbaud, where I serve as chief technology officer, one of our core tenets has been to design an open, cloud-based software and data architecture. We're cultivating a technical community of partners, customers, and engineers (inside and outside of the company) who are innovating in different ways and contributing to this ecosystem. From this vantage point, I see the way that openness accelerates the velocity of innovation. Looking at it from a different angle, open ecosystems also yield data and analytics that enable everyone who is part of them to gain more insights and intelligence. This data can power intelligent software solutions, surface actionable events, maintain accurate and current data assets, and generally drive more results for users. In other words, an open cloud-based architecture elevates usage, which in turn generates more and more data and intelligence that make the system even more powerful. With data, analytics, and intelligence in mind, the following capabilities emerge as candidates to have a great positive impact. The Internet of Things Internet of Things (IoT) technology is cheap and accessible and can transform normal household items into network devices that generate data. In my house, the lights, thermostats, appliances, cars, doors, and windows are all connected devices. These connected devices generate data and intelligence (such as trends in usage, optimization of electricity consumption, and so on). Much like a household, there are many IoT possibilities for nonprofits and other players in the social good space to generate valuable, actionable data. Instrumentation Instrumentation provides us with the ability to understand what's happening within our software. As Blackbaud ships features and capabilities within solutions, we monitor usage. We do so to understand if our customers can easily discover the new capability (do they use it the first time they log on?) and to determine if our customers find it valuable (is their use ongoing?). This data-driven approach is an extremely effective way of measuring both the quality of the user experience and the overall value of the work we're doing. We can learn a lot about our customers just by observing what they do. Across the software industry, instrumentation is driving advances in understanding that enable more targeted solutions to users' challenges. Usage Information Like instrumentation, usage data enables us to understand the leading indicators that yield the best, most effective outcomes. For example, through usage data, we were able to understand that nonprofits who proactively thank donors within one week of giving have an advantage. They were much more effective at converting those individuals to longer-term supporters and recurring donors. Predictive Intelligence Predictive analytics showcase some of the most stunning and innovative applications of data. At Blackbaud, we think of predictive analytics as a kind of "self-driving car." It guides and sometimes fully automates tasks for our users, enabling them to gain much greater results. A few examples of predictive analytics scenarios that we're working on include Extending the most compelling message to a specific person at just the right time via the best channel, to keep them engaged, generate a donation, invite them to an event, or simply share a story. Intelligently connecting nonprofits, corporations, individuals, foundations, faith-based organizations, schools, and other stakeholders across the ecosystem we serve. That action enables us to more efficiently coordinate efforts and services and drive greater good together. Leveraging social information, an understanding of a person's network, geographical context, and other analytics to help connect an advocate with a nonprofit, school, or foundation, in just the right way. We leverage the correlation of many different, disparate data sources to drive true intelligence and to power new, predictive user experiences across our applications. Our data platform is what powers this intelligence. This platform drives value across our solutions in other ways, including Correcting, appending, and de-duplicating data across the system Business intelligence and reporting that shows trends in data Real-time data pipelines that spark events across the system based on changes to the data I’ve included only a few examples of technology capabilities we're researching that we believe will have a strong positive impact. The central theme of these capabilities is providing more actionable data and intelligence. Our commitment to delivering a robust, scalable, and flexible data architecture as well as open, cloud-based software enables us to take advantage of this technology. It also enables us to harness these capabilities to drive greater value for the customers we serve.

so Microsoft's MileIQ Helps a Nonprofit Show People How to Save Lots of Energy By feeds.techsoup.org Published On :: Thu, 05 Oct 2017 14:26:00 GMT In 2015, the state of Louisiana consumed more energy per capita than any other state, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Although this may not come as a complete surprise — the state's warm, muggy climate makes air conditioning a must — it's clear that Louisiana's energy-use profile needs a drastic transformation. The Energy Wise Alliance (EWA), a small nonprofit based in New Orleans, is determined to do just that. Along the way, the organization has gotten a boost from Microsoft's MileIQ app. MileIQ is a mobile app from Microsoft that automatically tracks the miles you've traveled and records all of your tax-deductible and reimbursable mileage. It's kind of like using a Fitbit, except you're tracking your driving. You can report your business drives on demand and claim your reimbursements or maximize your tax deductions. The average MileIQ user is logging $6,900 per year. Building a More Energy-Efficient Community EWA works to make energy efficiency more accessible to everyone. The organization works primarily with low-income families, tenants, and others who would otherwise be left out of the green energy revolution. EWA accomplishes its goals through both workshops and equipment upgrades at homes and businesses. Its Energy Smart for Kids program teaches students throughout the state how to lead a more energy-efficient lifestyle. These hourlong sessions cover the pitfalls of nonrenewable energy and detail more sustainable alternatives. At the end of each session, EWA volunteers hand out energy-efficiency starter kits so students can apply what they learned at home. Much like the rest of EWA's programs, Energy Smart for Kids serves underserved and underprivileged communities. In fact, many of the schools that EWA serves are Title 1 schools — schools whose students generally come from lower-income households. Aside from schools, EWA also helps nonprofits become more sustainable. Making Nonprofits Greener and More Cost-Efficient Nonprofits can benefit from EWA's work by way of simple but effective power-saving retrofits. EWA also provides volunteer labor and donates the materials for the retrofits, which means added cost savings. And as we all know, cost-saving programs are like gold dust for nonprofits. For example, volunteers from EWA revitalized the Victorian-era headquarters of the Alliance Française, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Francophone heritage in the New Orleans community, with sustainable retrofits. As part of these upgrades, EWA sealed cracks, gaps, and openings; installed additional insulation; and programmed new thermostats. In addition, EWA gave the Alliance Française's volunteers a hands-on demonstration of behavioral changes so that they could bring this knowledge back home. EWA anticipated that the Alliance Française would save a total of $2,000 to $3,000 as a result of these green improvements. EWA's staff members also actively save money and operate more efficiently through the use of the mile-tracking app MileIQ. Saving Time and Money with MileIQ This method, as you can imagine, was time-consuming, and it brought with it the risk of human error. Most people can't possibly remember every single trip they make with their car, after all. "MileIQ is super accurate and takes the forgetting out of the equation," said Jamie Wine, executive director of EWA. For Kevin Kellup, education coordinator at EWA, MileIQ has been a game-changer. Jamie explained, "Kevin drives like crazy from school to school," racking up miles on his personal car. Now, thanks to MileIQ, Kevin can get more fairly and accurately reimbursed for his constant traveling. The most important benefit of Microsoft's MileIQ for Jamie is that his staff can be correctly reimbursed for mileage. He wants to show staff members that he values their time and effort spent traveling, which MileIQ really helps him achieve. For nonprofits, particularly small ones like EWA, it's always great when the team can receive fair compensation for its hard work. "The staff doesn't get paid much," Jamie said. And considering how important staff members' work is to the community, every penny matters. That's also where TechSoup comes in. TechSoup's Role: "Essential" Through TechSoup, eligible nonprofits can get MileIQ at 80 percent off the subscription rate. "Without TechSoup," Jamie noted, "this huge step up in technology" would not have been possible. The MileIQ discount program from Microsoft has made acquiring MileIQ way easier on the nonprofit's pocket. Having also previously obtained Microsoft Office 365 and QuickBooks Online through TechSoup, Jamie said, "TechSoup is a great equalizer." He mentioned that TechSoup helps a small nonprofit to grow into a technologically advanced organization. He added, "The super discounted products from TechSoup are like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." Getting MileIQ Premium Eligible nonprofits can get MileIQ at 80 percent off the individual subscription rate through TechSoup and can request an unlimited number of individual subscriptions. In addition to individual subscriptions, MileIQ is now included with an Office 365 Business Premium license. Nonprofits who currently do not have an Office 365 license can visit Microsoft's Office 365 for nonprofits page to register.

so How Libraries Use Social Media By feeds.techsoup.org Published On :: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:58:00 GMT https://blog.techsoup.org/posts/how-libraries-use-social-media Eighty-one percent of Americans have social media accounts, and that number is expected to grow each year. Nearly all brands have a social presence, and libraries are no different. Libraries are using social platforms now more than ever before. The New York Public Library has 2.2 million followers on Twitter, more followers than the celebrity Kathy Griffin. Social media is playing a significant role in helping libraries stay relevant in our ever-growing digital society. TechSoup recently teamed up with WebJunction to find out the details on how libraries are using social media. We wanted to know how often libraries are using platforms and what some of their biggest challenges are. We surveyed 311 libraries throughout the country and found out some interesting things. In our survey, we found that 55 percent of respondents serve fewer than 25,000 patrons, so nearly half of the respondents were smaller libraries, probably mostly in rural areas. We found that libraries are using social, and they are eager to grow their channels. More than half (55.7 percent) of libraries spend less than 5 hours per week on social media, and 28 percent spend only 6 to 10 hours a week. Libraries use Facebook more than any other social platform. Twitter is the next most popular platform, and then Instagram. Forty-four percent of libraries post daily on Facebook, and 25 percent also post daily on Twitter. Libraries are using social media to share events and pictures, educate people about services, highlight their collections, and support other libraries. Growing followers and finding staff support are some of libraries' biggest social media challenges. Learn How to Grow Your Library's Social Media Channels with Our WebJunction Webinars Registration is now open for the Social Media and Libraries Webinar Series, hosted by WebJunction and TechSoup for Libraries in collaboration.

so TechSoup Member Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly Works to Alleviate Elder Isolation By feeds.techsoup.org Published On :: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 19:26:00 GMT (Please visit the site to view this video) Older adults are at an increased risk of lacking company and being socially isolated. Recent studies prove that a lack of social relationships is as strong a risk factor for mortality as are smoking, obesity, or a lack of physical activity. Enter Little Brothers. Little Brothers is an effort dedicated to spreading awareness and relieving isolation and loneliness in elders, a problem that often goes unseen. Little Brothers is in 7 U.S. cities and 10 countries worldwide. Its mission is carried out by more than one nonprofit organization. Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly San Francisco facilitates more than 4,000 friendly visits a year. Volunteers are matched with elders in San Francisco, and they form and build a relationship through home visits, outings, or common interests. We recently met with Andrew Butler, the program manager at Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly San Francisco. He explained that many volunteers form a relationship with an elder, and their stereotypes about older people are quickly broken down. "A lot of what we do is creating awareness. I think a lot of the information that we share through training or events really inspires people," said Butler. He also suggested that we speak with a member of Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly San Francisco, Andy Morgan, to get a proper feel for the organization. Andy Morgan is a highly spiritual 86-year-old who loves to read. Originally from Transylvania, Andy came to San Francisco in 1962 and has worked a variety of jobs throughout his life. However, he stresses that he has never defined himself by what he did for a living. Aside from books and his spirituality, Andy values personal relationships and enjoys company. Our conversation with Andy revealed why Little Brothers' impact matters so much. I wanted to ask if you have any main visitors. Andy Morgan: Yeah! I have one main visitor come every week. Rain or shine, he comes and sees me. He brings me food from Trader Joe's, and he does my laundry. Wow, that's a sweet deal. Would you share a particular visit that has stuck with you over the years? There's nothing that stands out; every visit is enjoyable. What we usually do is grab a spiritual book, you know, all those books over there are on spirituality, and we read from it and then we discuss it. I've been on the spiritual path since the 1960s, so if he has any questions, I can try and clarify. I was wondering what makes you happy. What makes me happy? Knowing that my within-ness, that which makes me breathe and which makes me exist, is pure joy and pure love. When you do a lot of meditation, something opens up within you, and I just feel, practically all the time, this feeling of love and joy and peace. Of course no one can maintain that 24/7, but I can always come back. If something goes wrong, I can just remind myself of my true nature. That's beautiful. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. My pleasure; it's been a joy having you guys. Could I just read you one very short poem? It says … Be as a Flower Truth is very simpleA flower does not try to be beautiful.Its True Nature is Beauty.Just by its Very Being. In the same way, when you AwakenTo your true nature,You will naturally exude Love,Compassion, Beauty.It is all you.For it is your True Self. (poem by Robert Adams) TechSoup is proud to support our member, Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly San Francisco, in its mission to spread awareness about and help elders at risk of loneliness and isolation. There are incredible people like Andy all over the world who are at risk of being forgotten. But they should never be. TechSoup provides technology and services to Little Brothers staff members to help run their nonprofit so that they can focus on fighting the effects of elder isolation. spanhidden Full Article

That's because we're making some big improvements and are proud to announce the upcoming launch of the newly redesigned TechSoup.org. As a social enterprise, we never stop working to better serve nonprofits that share in our commitment to building a more equitable planet. In fact, TechSoup currently works with more than 965,000 NGOs in 236 countries and territories and has facilitated over $9 billion in U.S. market value of in-kind technology and funding. To that end, we've created a refreshed, modern web presence to streamline access to all our traditional and beloved products and services. It will also serve as the place where TechSoup technologies and services are first announced. The new TechSoup.org has been optimized for mobile devices, so you'll be able to experience all the new functionality wherever you go. We've also built the site with accessibility in mind on several fronts. And we're launching a new blog. Our new website will officially go live in early November. A Streamlined User Experience Nonprofits who are regular visitors to TechSoup will find a streamlined catalog that makes finding product offers and solutions easier and more efficient. Additionally, the home page has been reconfigured, sending a clearer message of who we are and what we offer as an organization. "We reduced clutter and developed a cleaner, simpler user experience with more breathing room in the interface to encourage users to do what they are intended to do on the site," says TechSoup head of user experience Tyler Benari. "It will now be easier to benefit from offerings available in and out of our catalog, interact with others in the nonprofit community, and gain access to other TechSoup services." Maximized for Mobile TechSoup's updated website will be maximized for mobile devices, allowing nonprofit staffers to take advantage of the many offers on TechSoup.org right from their phone or tablet. "It's an exciting time," Benari says. "We will now be able to literally get TechSoup into more people's hands. Redesigning the site to be more mobile-friendly will allow us to grow our community much faster and better serve the existing nonprofits we love so much." Improved Accessibility The newly redesigned TechSoup.org also features greater accessibility and is informed by Web Content Accessibility 2.0 Guidelines (WCAG). "TechSoup cares very much about accessibility and enabling access for all people," Benari says, describing two key factors that have been improved upon: contrast and code. "Our new color scheme makes it easier for people with impaired vision to access content on the site, and our code was updated to better communicate with screen readers." A New Blog Platform Finally, we're excited to introduce our new blog, more suited to integrate existing TechSoup.org content in a single, easy-to-access location. We've given the platform an upgrade, complete with a fresh look and improved functionality aimed to make blog posts more easily shareable and to promote a more robust multimedia experience. You'll continue to see improvements in the coming months as we receive feedback from the communities we serve. Also, be on the lookout for more information surrounding the new site, including a webinar and short video. spanhidden Full Article
