NPower NY

At NPower NY our aim is to help nonprofits discover and exploit the promise of technology. NPower NY's consulting staff bring an in-depth understanding of the needs and unique challenges facing nonprofits, the power of technology, and how, appropriately applied, technology can further nonprofits' work. We first seek to understand your agency's broader "service delivery" environment. We want to understand, as best we can, an organization's challenges and constraints. Then, within that mission-based framework, we listen to your technology visions, wishes, dreams, and frustrations. Next, we determine which stage — planning, budgeting, or implementation — your agency is in in the Technology Project Lifecycle. To help organizations leverage the potential of technology, we offer a wide variety of consulting services, including Technology Planning and Budgeting, Databases, Networks, Web Sites, and Scheduled Support.
