If you don’t invest in it then it will hurt you more in the long run.” Graeme Dingle Foundation Head of Operational Strategy and Relationships John Holley cuts straight to the chase when asked about the importance of technology for not-for-profits. “Some people think it’s a choice between helping people or using technology. It’s not one or the other, it has to be both,” he continues. "The right technology makes us robust and efficient and the solutions we receive through TechSoup New Zealand mean that instead of spending large amounts of money on technology, we can spend it on programs with a transformational impact on young New Zealanders,” Speaking from his organisation’s head office in Auckland, Holley’s IT expertise shows through as he describes how donated and discounted technology through TechSoup New Zealand helps the Dingle Foundation change the lives of thousands of young disadvantaged Kiwis.
