Andy Zellers introduces technology solutions for non-profits on a limited budget. He notes that technology can help level the playing field for non-profits and allow them to do more with less. While most non-profits have basic technologies like word processing and email, affordable options exist for website creation, online fundraising, and database management. Technologies like email and social media can help non-profits communicate and raise funds at low cost.

6. Thoughts from an Industry Expert “ Utilizing rent-able applications and other low cost or free web applications allows the small nonprofit to leverage labor and financial resources. Thus they are able to serve more of their constituency, as well as better communicate with (and broaden) their donor base, and improve services. In other words, leveraging through technology provides the small nonprofit an opportunity to "level the playing field." Carolyn S. Sechler, CPA Phoenix, AZ
