Below are examples of how to use technology to solve a business problem for a
charity. These ideas are just to get your creativity flowing. Be sure to tailor
your solution to your organization of choice.
Fundraising. Charities depend on outside funding, and can spend
plenty of time and resources seeking funds. Help them create grant applications
faster with an automated process. And exploit info from past applications with
rich search, custom workflows and in-document contextual actions.
Compliance. The rules and regulations for using donated funds
are complex. Use the 2007 Microsoft Office system technology to help an
organization track data. Create standard forms. Improve workflow approval
processes. And keep the charity in good standing with its benefactors.
Data Management. Many charities monitor an activity as part of
their work, be it ecological, educational or economic. Create a solution that
helps them collect, compile and analyze this data. Consider using SharePoint
Portal Server 2007 as your base.
Community Outreach. Establishing and maintaining a presence in
a community is critical to the success of every charity. Help your organization
reach its target audience with wikis, blogs and RSS technology. Streamline the
process of creating and distributing newsletters.
