Nonprofit Community:
IT consistently cited as the #1 functional challenge for nonprofits
Technology is a powerful tool when used well, but for too many nonprofit professionals, technology is a source of never-ending confusion and frustration
40% of the country’s nonprofits have no IT staff or support
A whopping 88% of nonprofits surveyed say they have inadequate IT support
Technology is scary!

Types of projects
Project examples
Nonprofit: Hale House Center
Corporation: NYSE Euronext
Project : Computer Installation & Networking
"Getting these computers and then having the right volunteers to set them up and get them running has been a godsend. Those two volunteers were like two celebrities walking through the door. I was more excited to see them than if Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio walked through the door!"
- Mildred, COO, Hale House
Project examples
Nonprofit: Union Settlement
Corporation: JPMorgan Chase
Project : IT Hardware Asset Management
Union Settlement had hundreds of IT assets throughout its 11 sites across NYC and needed to execute a full IT Asset Management Project. JPMorgan Chase helped Union Settlement develop an inventory tracking process and successfully tagged their IT assets across all sites. Since then, Union Settlement has been able to perform life-cycle management of their IT assets throughout the organization, allowing them to make informed purchasing & operational decisions.
Project examples
Nonprofit: Mouse
Corporation: New York Life Insurance
Project : Mentoring Aspiring Professionals
Mouse students were paired with 11 passionate New York Life mentors and went on a multi-week shadowship, gaining valuable first-hand business experience.
"The bridge between education (non-profit world) and the for-profit world is so vital and can open up so many possibilities -- I was ecstatic with how The Community Corps is bridging this gap for Mouse, its students and the great professionals who want to make a difference.” – Krizia Sapida, MOUSE Program Manager."
Project examples
Nonprofit: Palo Alto Library Foundation
Corporation: Accenture
Project : Salesforce Database & Design
"The project made a huge difference, making us more efficient and able to reach our goal to supply furniture, computers and books for our new libraries. Even though our volunteer was far away from Palo Alto, California, he made a big impact here." - Lynn, ED, Palo Alto Library Foundation
Project examples
Nonprofit: Ghetto Film School
Corporation: JPMorgan Chase
Project : Google Ad Words
GFS needed help configuring and maximizing their Google AdWords Account to boost general awareness, direct traffic to their newly rebranded website, and increase student applications and online donations. Their pro bono expert, Jason, designed and launched three AdWords campaigns and helped train film school members on how to create and maintain future campaigns.
