Our struggle with technology is one staff person (me) dedicated only 10% of the time struggling to put some controls in place nad manage current resources, while program staff go to their techie "friends" to find out if what they want is "possible". It may be, and everyone has a pet project of tech feature they want enabled, but you can't manage that kind of one on one service with only 10% of a person with 20 staff to support.

Does your nonprofit struggle to make use of new technologies? Is this due to a lack of training, education, or funding? How has this impacted your organization and your work?

For insight into how other organizers in the social-change sector are adapting new technologies, read TechSoup's State of Online Technology in the Social-Change Sector, which provides highlights from -- and a link to -- dotOrganize's recent study "Online Technology for Social Change: From Struggle to Strategy."
