Web Conferencing for Nonprofits: Technology You Can Use

Overview

The nonprofit sector is a rapidly growing sector. Approximately 1.4 million nonprofit organizations are currently registered with the IRS. The figure includes a diverse group of organizations both in size and mission, which range from hospitals and human service organizations to advocacy groups and chambers of commerce. When compared to other sectors of the economy, the nonprofit sector accounts for 5.2 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 8.3 percent of wages and salaries paid in the United States. To overcome the challenges of training, communicating, building community and membership and controlling costs, nonprofits are looking to tools that are versatile and scalable; web conferencing software is quickly becoming that tool.
