Hi,

So one thing that I am realizing in working in the nonprofit sector and having
just recently done a presentation for a class that I am currently taking, I
realized that people have a really skewed way of viewing the cost of technology.
When I tell people that there are low cost providers for Nonprofits or ways to
get discounted and/or free equipment or training, people don't get it. They
think every database is tens of thousands of dollars and that isn't the case.
They also think streamlining something into one systematic process into a
database isn't possible, again because they think it will cost to much time or
money. It just seams to me that nonprofits limit themselves. That they think
just because they are nonprofit, that they can't do and/or have certain things.
There is this misconception of cost and the lack of understanding that you don't
have to be rich to do these things. So, I was just curiuos if other individuals
felt this way as well and/or what can the sector to to combat this attitude.
