You might want to try posting your request to the Circuit Riders US, Circuit Riders UK and eRider - International discussion lists. The lists are for techies working with non profits. Some pretty extensive research done by members of all 3 communities into baseline statistics on ICT usage.

All three lists can be found at -

Subject: [DDN] Research on Community Technology needs - request for links toarticles



Does anyone have any useful links to research on the technology needs of small local community organisations (~$25k turnover)?

The sort of thing I am looking for (and these are all made up statistics!) are:
i.e. 35% of US local non-profits have their own web site/ 75% use email
i.e. 80% of youth clubs in Toronto are now online although only 11% send out a newsletter to supporters, and 1% manage their organisation online.
i.e. The top technology priorities for local residents associations in the UK are Email account, Internet cafe, web site, ICT training, online fundraising tools.....


All links / articles gratefully accepted - you'll even get a thank you mention in our monthly newsletter!

If there's a lot that come in I'll be happy to add them as a list on the Community Technology part of the digitaldividenetwork site too so others can benefit from them

Thanks
Toby
