Service Grants for US-based Nonprofit Organizations

Rio Rancho, New Mexico (October 18, 2007) – Data-Scribe™ is seeking applications from US-based nonprofit organizations for their Nonprofit Technology and Communications Grant program. Applications for computer training, communications training, and Web site services will be accepted on a rolling basis.

Last night on our local news station, KRQE News 13, Jessica Garate gave a mini-tour of our client's Web site, the Bernalillo County Council of the PTA Clothing Bank. The BCCPTA was the recipient of our Spring 2007 Technology & Development Grant. We provided them with a new Web site.

Congratulations to BCCPTA on getting some great press!

We've been working on launching three nonprofit Web sites over the past week (thus the hockey reference to a 'hat trick'). Please click on the links below to check them out. We hope that you'll support these organizations if it makes sense for you.

Bernalillo County Council of the PTA's Clothing Bank: BCCPTA was a recipient of our Spring 2007 New Mexico Technology & Development Grant. They received a new Web site to promote their 50+ years of providing clothing to Albuquerque Public School students in need.

We just updated our Web site so that it has a new look and feel - "very Web 2.0" as someone described it. Our goal was to make it easier to navigate and get to the information you want. Keep an eye on our Upcoming Events for the latest training classes, seminars, and workshops. You can still sign up for classes or save the RSS feed to your favorite feed reader. We welcome your feedback. Enjoy!

During our Web site classes at the Center for Nonprofit Excellence, there are always questions about Web site rules. Basically, attendees want to know when and if it's OK for a nonprofit to link to another Web site, add a logo, post others' PDFs, etc.

If you were writing a book, you would think twice about copying text and pictures to place it in your own book. But, the Internet is so free and open that it makes you feel like all content is available for use.

This topic has been done to death, hasn't it? I do have a couple of other points to add related to blogging in Albuquerque.

Yesterday, I (Leila) had the opportunity to be interviewed by Autumn Gray of the Albuquerque Journal for a piece she's writing on business blogging. Everyone always talks about New Mexico being behind the times with technology, and blogging is no exception.
