5 Key Findings From Our Nonprofit Technology Survey

The Chronicle of Philanthropy recently commissioned an exclusive survey, conducted by Clarion Research, asking over 350 nonprofit leaders about their approaches to technology, the challenges they face implementing it, and the promise they see it holds. The findings reveal a sector at a crossroads, where organizations that can afford to modernize are pulling ahead, while those that can’t fear being left behind entirely. Key takeaways:

1. Nonprofits spend a fraction of what businesses do on tech.
2. The tech gap is creating winners and losers.
3. Leaders know what’s wrong—they just can’t afford to fix it.
4. Small changes can make big differences.
5. The stakes have never been higher.
