About Not-for-Profits
Not-for-Profit organizations account for over 10% of the American workforce and provide services that are either unavailable or too expensive in the for-profit or government sectors. Many nonprofits are small, and lack resources to design and maintain a website.
Access eNonProfit is intended to help nonprofits make the most of their Internet connection and web presence. Nonprofits can use the web to save money and provide better information and services to clients, patrons, donors, and volunteers. They can use digital technology to be more customer-focused and efficient.
