🌟 Today is Giving Tuesday! Let's make a difference together. 🌟 Will you help us? Tech4kids empowers kids by providing access to technology and resources they need to thrive in a digital world. 📱💻 From supplying laptops to underserved schools to hosting STEM workshops, Tech4Kids is paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. 💡 Why it matters: 1 in 3 kids lacks access to reliable technology at home. Early access to tech and STEM education can unlock lifelong opportunities. Today, you can help change that. Even a small donation can provide big opportunities: 👉 $25 helps purchase a new battery or power cord. 👉 $50 helps cover software for a child’s computer. 👉 $100 buys 4 hard drives.

Ok, #24NTC is approaching. It's time to start considering what to pack for Portland. For all our existing and future friends who are attending in person or virtually, we wanted to share a bit more about our Brand Leadership / Digital Strategy Giveaway. We're eager to celebrate the wonderful NTEN Nonprofit Technology Network community by giving away a "Choose Your Own Adventure" workshop to two organizations: Brand Leadership Options: - Brand Alignment - Core Messages - Content Strategy Digital Strategy Options: - Digital Assessment - Brand Stack Health Check - Activation Strategy These aren't going to be "sales calls in disguise". We're talking about robust, professionally-facilitated, human-centered engagements tailored to a organization's greatest needs with shareable, actionable takeaways. To register, I'll post a QR code in the NTC app discussion area or seek me out once the conference kicks off. ALL attending organizations are eligible, whether a nonprofit or a for-profit who serves them. Can't wait to be there, and can't wait to see old friends and make new ones while representing BPOZ Brand Leadership. #BenevolentBusiness #BrandLeadership #Nonprofits #NonprofitTech #NTC #24NTC
