Do You Want a Comprehensive Listing of ICT Support for Nonprofits in Your Area?
You may remember not very long ago DonorTec requested your help. We will be unveiling something shortly that will provide your nonprofit with an extremely valuable resource – a tool that directly connects your nonprofit with trusted ICT vendors in your area. This is why we need to know about the ICT professionals you use to assist your nonprofit.
Although we received some responses to our requests for vendor information, we need more. The information you supply us will pay off as your nonprofit becomes aware of ICT services within your community of which you may not have been previously aware. We would like to populate our database with those already dedicated to serving you, the nonprofit community.
Just some of the features of the tool include the ability to find suitable ICT support by:
- searching by postcode
- viewing results on a geographical mapping tool
- providing the ability to rate and review ICT vendors listed with DonorTec.
We know your time is valuable so we are not requesting much of it. Please take a moment to think about
- Technology support - who do you call if your server and computer freezes?
- Technology consultation - who do you ask for advice on your ICT planning?
- Technology vendor - do you have a preferred supplier when you purchase a new PC?
Send an email to support@donortec.com.au advising of the:
- Organisation/Company name
- Organisation/Company contact details, email preferred
- A brief explanation of service/s they provide to your organisation
Access to information about ICT support, consultants and multiple trusted technology vendors in your area - what nonprofit can do without?
