Our pals over at the Wild Apricot blog posted this about Idealist.org offering nonprofit organizations FREE (yes, I said FREE!) online job postings during the month of June. If you've not used Idealist.org before, you need to GET ON IT! It's where I've found, literally, my last three nonprofit jobs and where I've posted umpteen number of job openings for organizations I worked with. I still get a daily digest email with jobs all over the country to match the search query I requested (not that I'm looking).

You can learn more about it with Idealist's cute and informative YouTube vid too:

NTEN has released the results of its survey on nonprofit IT expenditures. The survey looked at IT salaries by title and organization size, overall IT salary expenses, capital investments, discretionary IT budgets, and investments in IT training.  It also discusses non-monetary investments in technology planning and evaluation.  The report is available for free here.

This follows an earlier NTEN report on nonprofit IT staffing levels, recruiting, retention, and outsourcing.
