Patrick Ball is our New CTO!

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

Benetech is all about applying values in the development of technology. I'm excited to announce the appointment of someone who lives these values as our new Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Patrick Ball! Finding the right person for CTO is one of my biggest goals this year, and it didn't dawn on me initially that Patrick wanted to move onto a broader stage from his position as the head of Benetech's Human Rights Program.

More office cleanup reading.

Michael Stein's Non-profit Technology Blog

Here's another interesting article from back in Janaury I just read while sorting through the stacks of magazines in my office. From January's Technology Review : " The Internet is Broken." by David Talbot. You can find it online here. Most of what we read about internet innovation these days focuses on "Web 2.0", on all the new interactive internet applications coming on-line.

Solutionary Women: Mary Brune

Have Fun - Do Good

As I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago, I've started writing a weekly feature over at Blogher called Solutionary Women. I thought I'd share this week's interview with Mary Brune, co-founder of MOMS (Making Our Milk Safe). Mary is a professional writer and mom to her daughter, Olivia. "MOMS was founded by four nursing mothers to address the threat of toxic chemicals in human breast milk.

Nonprofits of the Future Project

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

I received an email from Paul Lamb encouraging participating in the " Nonprofits of the Future " project. It's an opportunity to dream and vision a little. Paul asks us to answer this question: "What the technologically empowered nonprofit of the future will look like 5 or 10 years down the road?" Paul offers a few wonderful scenarios and there is a lot to ponder in the comments.

Online Content and its Discontents

Michael Stein's Non-profit Technology Blog

Do Social Entrepreneurs Exist?

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

I'm responding to Paul Light's first post on Social Edge: Let There Be Light: 1. Do social entrepreneurs exist? The question of "social entrepreneur" being too exclusively applied is somewhat amusing to me. For me, the two main reasons to identify as a social entrepreneur are: 1. You get to meet people who are much more like you than typical nonprofit or for-profit leaders, and 2.

PCs for poor students. I had a great meeting with Timothy Anderson, the head of the World Computer Exchange , on a recent visit to Boston. I have watched his project as it's grown over the past few years.

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains.
