  • RE: real-time tools used by & with volunteers

    About a year ago, I ran across a web-based tool that served to coordinate volunteers. It was designed originally in response to the need to coordinate volunteers for, say, a sick person (rides to doctor's appointments, meals, housecleaning, etc.), or for a person who'd just had a baby... However, as I recall there were several nonprofits using
  • Looking for Perl Script

    Can anyone point me to a perl script that will take a file with the fields arranged a particular way, and spit out a new file with the fields arranged a different way - where I can customize both? For example, suck in file fields: [first][last][address][phone] (which would be separated by commas in the file) for each line write : [last] "," [first]
  • RE: For Mac environment: Shared Calendar

    I am surprised by the negative tone of your response. We don't want the open source version of Zimbra. None of us has the expertise or the time to install, set up or maintain it. The prices quoted are for a hosted version - which are more than I want to spend. My questions about a group calendar are valid whether our organization can afford a Treo

  • For Mac environment: Shared Calendar

    I have been searching for a shared calendar for our group of 13 (in three locations). Currently, the best solution I can come up with is Zimbra, which is, frankly, more money than I would prefer to spend. I'm wondering if you all have a different solution? We have two must-have criteria: must sync with Palm on Treo, and must have the ability to

  • RE: What is your best buying advice for a mac?

    It sounds like you know everything you need to know. You can now go to mac.com, and look at the few laptop choices. I am not sure what the video-editing requirements are. My message is mostly about empowerment - You can do it!. :smile;

  • Tipping Limits

    Does anyone have ideas on documenting tips? For example, we rent busses that drive youth to events, and it is customary to tip the drivers a percentage of the total cost of the bus *in cash.* We don't get a receipt for the tip, so to document the expense, I create supporting documentation that includes the original contract, and the amount (%) we

  • RE: Accounting Systems?

    I use a hybrid of cash and accrual. Sorry this doesn't answer the 'why' part, but perhaps if you say why you want to know, it will be easier to give a useful answer.

  • RE: Alternate to Quickbook for nonprofits

    You can just as easily use the for profit Quickbooks. You'll have to get used to the for-profit language, but otherwise, it's the same, and for less money. If you use Windows, I highly recommend trying the online version of Quickbooks. It's available from anywhere, and you never have to upgrade it. (Although you pay a perpetual monthly fee

  • Discussions Non-Tech Related

    Is this an appropriate place to ask non-technical questions about nonprofits? If not, can you recommend a place? I would like to ask some random questions like whether the IRS places a limit on the amount you can tip (as in tipping a waitress).

  • RE: creating an intranet withOUT an IT staff

    You might also try weboffice.com - I liked it a lot, but since we are on Macs, there are some incompatibilities for us (for example, it doesn't allow the calendar to sync with palms).
