TechSoup Global Contributors Summit

BetterWorld was honored to be a part of a convening of funders, corporate donors, social media experts, capacity-building organizations and the fulcrum of all of these amazing networks, TechSoup Global.

The summit has focused on how BetterWorld and other participants can create greater impact through the extraordinary network of partners that comprise TechSoup's global contributors.

This is important because the combination of product donations, data services and human capacity has the potential to help build a truly resilient civil society.

Some of the topics for the summit include:

Communities of Practice in the Age of Facebook – Is there a place for projects like Idealist, Wiser Earth and Jumo to bridge the gap of activism out in the real world contrasted to the activism of Causes on Facebook?

Cloud Computing – Provides extraordinary benefits in new functionality and cost savings and is the direction that countries, corporations and non-profits are headed, but how do we address broadband access challenges, security concerns, and effective financial models in this new system?

Civil Society Resilience – How to support and reinforce community serving organizations and citizen engagement through global transparent databases?

We are excited for the 3+ projects (committed to ahead of time)  that will come out of this summit comprised of technology corporations, foundations, government institutions, grassroots catalysts and others.
