TechSoup is focused on helping nonprofits with their technology questions.&nbsp; For questions about grants, I&#39;d suggest trying a site that is focused on fundraising, perhaps the <a href="http://www.idealist.org/if/en/forum"><strong>Idealist bulletin board</strong></a>&nbsp; would be a good place to start. </p> <p>If you do have any questions&nbsp; about technology and fundraising, please feel free to ask. There are a wealth of resources here, both information and reduced cost products. </p> <p>Best wishes, </p> <p>Sasha </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99755.aspxWed, 10 Jun 2009 14:00:12 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:99755rippleinc0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/99755.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=19&PostID=99755<p><span class="text2"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:&#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;">My name is Mariama Boone, Ripple Institute President, a STEM Capacity Building Nonprofit.
