Using Asana, you can break down projects into steps with clear deliverables and assignees for each necessary task. You can tag questions for your teammates and share documents and other assets directly in the project itself. Asana helps keep projects on track and gives everyone clear visibility into what's due, when it's due, and who's responsible each step of the way.
The TechSoup offer provides access to a 50 percent discount to both Asana Starter and Asana Advanced licenses.
Zoom
Zoom is a video conferencing tool that allows you to meet remotely with colleagues, partners, donors, or volunteers. You can invite participants to the meeting by simply sending a link — which doesn't even require them to have a Zoom account — and record your meetings in video or text formats.
Use the in-call chat to share encouragement or ask questions, share your screen or sound for easy presenting, and use plug-ins to schedule your meeting using Outlook or Chrome. Zoom is an easy-to-use tool for hosting smooth and productive meetings in your organization.
A 50 percent discount on Zoom plans is available to eligible nonprofits with budgets under $10 million directly through Zoom.
