It also runs on PostgreSQL (another open source Database
system)

resources available

nonprofits

building, primarily)
This makes it extremely flexible and powerful
It makes it possible for developers to create feature rich sites
It makes it very difficult for nonprofits to build websites on
Drupal on their own
However, organizations can maintain Drupal sites quite well
once trained
