What can we do for your organization?

DharmaTech offers a programmatic solution to address the most common technology challenge faced by nonprofits: technology outreach.

Our Technology Outreach Program provides an organization with "open source" website and database software that are affordable and easy to use and maintain. Benefits: Using integrated technology systems, this program helps strengthen an organization’s fundraising, outreach, membership, and advocacy work.

Specifically, it includes:

• Website: utilizes a website content management system (CMS) that allows an organization whose staff members have basic word processing skills to easily update and manage their website content with “real-time” publishing. An advocacy organization can keep its constituency informed with up-to-the-minute news and action alerts, and can send out HTML newsletters and other e-communications.
• Database: utilizes a constituent relationship management (CRM) system – a database for centralizing and managing information about an organization’s members, donors, activists, and other constituents. The website and database are integrated, and the systems can scale as the organization grows. This integration allows an organization to quickly inform and mobilize its constituency. Both the website and database use “open source” software, which provides high-level functionality that is free and eliminates ongoing licensing, maintenance, support, or upgrade costs. It is web-based, so it can be accessed with any type of computer, by any number of people, at any location.

What is open source software?

Open source software is computer software that allows users to use, change, improve , and redistribute it freely. It is often developed in a public, collaborative manner and emerged as part of a movement to democratize and decentralize technology so that everyone has access to it.
