This power session consists of two presentations and a Q&A session. Presentation 1 Strategic communications planning for not-for-profits In a crowded marketplace it’s especially valuable to have a clear message. As a not-for-profit your message is your promise. It sums up what you do and why it matters. Understanding your strategic communications goals is complex. Good communications don’t just happen. It’s a disciplined process that starts with an honest appraisal of your market position, successes and concerns. This presentation will take delegates through how to create a new strategic communications plan for their organisation and how to review profile, target audiences, perceptions, key messages and how to measure success.

Many not-for-profits are now using Facebook to build a community of supporters for their cause and engage their audience. Join this webinar to learn how to create a Facebook content strategy, how to increase likes to your page and how to engage your fans with your content.

“Our hardware and software platform has had significant investment to meet this goal and features a thin client network with a range of software that enables us to manage most of our network through our central server. In implementing this upgrade across our platform we needed software to operate our network so we have upgraded our desktop environment to the latest Microsoft family of software so that we can. We now have a network that is the equal of large budget scale organisations thanks to support from TechSoup and Microsoft.”

Te Puna Whaiora provides an early and transforming intervention in the lives of vulnerable children, so that together with their families they may begin to build a brighter future. "We believe that the advances available in Windows 7, Exchange 2010, Office 2010, SQL 2008 and Windows Server 2008 will enable us to offer much more functionality, reliability and performance utilising the same hardware and we are looking forward to being able to draft plans for an infrastructure upgrade program not possible before."

Newtown Union Health in Wellington have recently upgraded their software thanks to TechSoup NZ and Microsoft.  Odette Wood, Newtown Union Health’s Operations Manager, explains the impact on their organization. “It has enabled us to achieve a number of things including improved email capability, the ability for everyone to “hot-desk”, a standard suite of MS Office software so everyone is using the same version and future upgrades can be done across the whole network at once and an improved central storage of our organisation’s documents.  At a higher level, the upgrade means a much more robust system, less maintenance costs/risks, better internal communication systems and processes and the increased ability to support a growing organization spread across geographically separated sites as we move into the future.

Last year when our computer system was limping along, trying to avoid an imminent fatality, Techsoup came to our rescue with software allowing us to upgrade to a server-based system. A large IT expense was just not on the cards for a small charitable organisation such as ours where government funding was minimal and funds from donors are aimed at the direct support programmes. What a change! The timely upgrade has allowed our staff more efficient access whilst in the office, and also for our staff on the road and in remote offices to be able to access the information directly rather than via a call to the office and have it relayed over the phone. I am actually sitting at home writing this case-study (due to the Christchurch earthquake) but still managing to offer our usual support to our clients throughout New Zealand, thanks to Techsoup software and our new system.  

By, For and About the community... that’s the core principle that surrounds what you hear on any Access Radio station in New Zealand, and Access Manawatu is no exception. Anyone in our transmission area is encouraged and entitled to make radio programmes that reflect their views and values. "As a result of the TechSoup discounts, we could – almost effortlessly – upgrade our staff machines, offering all staff a 'level playing field' for document creation and – increasingly important – contact sharing."

ew Zealand is now part of the international comparative study of the non-profit sector undertaken by the Johns Hopkins University, which compares 41 countries across the world, and builds a very interesting picture of global non profit activity. The New Zealand data is based on the satellite accounts of the not for profit sector which was published last year.

By: Yann Toledano August 25, 2008 Courtesy of Techsoup.org What do your constituents think about your programs and services? What kinds of activities are your donors likely to fund? Should your organization initiate a new program? Rather than resort to using telepathic powers or mind reading, an online survey is a powerful research tool that can deliver the feedback you need. Paper-based surveys are often too costly and time-consuming to administer, but online surveys make it easy for any organization to get feedback on the cheap.

Please note that we are currently experiencing Voicemail problems at TechSoup New Zealand. We beleiev this problem has been occuring since mid December 2008. For those that have attempted to leave a voicemail, we suggest that you either contact us again via phone or send us an email via support@techsoup.net.nz

Invited guests joined Prime Minister John Key, Chris Liddell CFO of Microsoft, Kevin Ackhurst Microsoft NZ Country Manager, Tina Reid Executive Director of NZFVWO - the TechSoup NZ partner and Murray Edridge the CE of Barnardos NZ, to celebrate the first anniversary of TechSoup NZ and a 1.4 million dollar donation by Microsoft NZ to Barnardos.

TechSoup New Zealand Microsoft admin fee price rise Because we knew many of the nonprofits we serve planned to request product donations in-line with our fiscal year end cycle (which runs from July 1 through June 30), we held admin fees at the current levels until July 1, 2010.  However:

The annual Social Heroes Awards from the Robin Hood Foundation, are where leading business and other not-for-profit leaders, award and celebrate inspirational social collaborations between business and not-for-profit partners. Microsoft and TechSoup New Zealand were among the nominees for this year's Collaboration in Communities Award.

For well over 10 years we’ve been making 1,000 calls a day using a paper-based system. Whilst it was obvious that an IT system would improve our efficiency, we did not feel that using our donors’ money to fund such a system was as important as getting our programmes into more schools to support kids in need.

Some of our donor partners limit their order requests to 1 each financial year. TechSoup New Zealand wants you to be aware that if you request any software from the donor partners listed below before June 30, your account will be reset to allow you to place another order anytime from July 1 onwards.

It is hard to believe how far we've come since we first started donating Microsoft software. TechSoup Global began by distributing software donations to worthy nonprofit organisations in the United States. More than 10 years later, Microsoft software donations are mainstays of the TechSoup Global program. And it's a good thing!

Microsoft qualified organisations can now get the Microsoft products they need when they need them:

Are you a non-profit group or community organisation based in Auckland city? Do you have a story to tell... an event to publicise... a subject to research... a group to promote? Are you a bit of a novice when it comes to using the web and social media? Would you like to know more about how they can help your group?

Social capital, social enterprise, social entrepreneurs, social investment, social innovation...it feels like there is a whole new raft of terms swilling around in the community sector. These were all explored in an incredibly lively and informative conference in Wellington recently - SOCANZ Doing Real Good Conference. It was organised and convened by Viv Maidaborn , pictured where with Tina Reid (Social Development Partners) at the TechSoupNZ display.

TechSoup New Zealand was offered the opportunity to attend this annual event in Wellington with a view to alerting attendees from all around New Zealand to the availability of technology donations and discounts. This was a weekend event, with registration on the Friday afternoon, so we had our stand for the Friday afternoon during the registration phase.
