Digital Transformation is a broad term that has come to represent the benefits that are derived from digitizing operations and processes. Nonprofit organizations have been implementing and managing many digital transformation projects, especially in the last 3 years due to the remote program delivery that was forced by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in many cases these projects have been hard to manage and often undertaken in addition to the core programs that the nonprofit teams deliver. Buy-in with leadership and teams is challenging, and once the project is complete, it is difficult to get teams to adopt the new technologies and processes and hard to measure and prove the impact of the technology adopted.

The TechSoup Digital Transformation Framework was developed to align your digital transformation goals with your mission and impact objectives. This framework also lists six critical functional areas for any organization to plan for priorities and tactics.

Check out the best practices and tips from TechSoup and partner organization experts regarding how to digitize the different focus areas of your nonprofit work:

All nonprofit development teams – even small mighty teams of one – use technology to raise awareness, grow their supporter network, and fundraise. No matter the size of your organization or budget - at the bare minimum we all have websites, email tools, and lots of data. And some of the lucky ones are managing dozens of systems that power our giving and communication programs. No one told us that using technology was going to be so hard! Most of us struggle to ‘just make it work’ in one way or another. We feel unprepared, overwhelmed, and just plain annoyed.
