major foundations and key philanthropy sector partners, this new service
will make it easier and less costly for international grantmakers to
provide cash grants to NGOs and social benefit organizations in

Dear Colleagues,
Often the folks who post to this list are not familiar with the
general conventions of job descriptions, or with the recommended
format for posting items to Nonprofit_Tech_Jobs@yahoogroups.com.
Therefore I am requesting that all list members (who wish to post to
the list) review these guidelines:
* First and foremost, your post must be an announcement of a career
opportunity in nonprofit technology, or it will not be approved. This
is not a forum for make-money-fast schemes, for circulating your
resume, or for advertising jobs that do not have a clear benefit to
the nonprofit sector.
* Please put the following information in the subject field of your
post: the job title, the organization that is hiring, and the
location of the job. Here's an example: "Network Engineer,
TechFoundation (Cambridge, MA). Note that the city and state are
parenthesized.
* Please be very specific about the skills, qualifications,
credentials, and experience that you are looking for, and about which
of these are non-negotiable.
* Please stipulate whether you are hiring on a full-time, part-time,
or consulting basis. If the job is tied to a time-limited project, be
specific about that. If hiring is contingent on a pending grant or
contract, please say so.
* If the salary, benefits, perks, and reporting structure are already
determined, please consider including them in your post. Jobs that do
not compensate workers with money (e.g., stipends, hourly wages, or
salaries) are not eligible to be listed here; at minimum, you should
indicate that you are announcing a paid position.
* Please include information about your organization. Relevant
information might be some or all of the following: your mission,
annual budget, size of staff, organizational culture, and IT
infrastructure.
* Please include very specific instructions about next steps for
individuals who would like more information or who are ready to apply
for the position. Ideally, your post should give the name of the
contact person, and his or her title, email address, street address,
phone number, and fax number.
Thanks for your attention to these guidelines. I hope that you will
excuse me for belaboring the obvious, but I think that this will
promote clearer communications for everyone involved.

Subject: [progressiveexchange] Vendor Needed for an Intake Database
To: Discuss@...
We're about to launch a new campaign and are in need of an intake
database. I wanted to see if anybody on this list does database
development or knows of a good vendor that might be willing to take on
this project. Below is a breakdown of the functionality we are
looking for.Â
Intake Database
Â
This database would require multiple users and multiple user levels
and permissions, simultaneous login ability, report editing, data
sorting and download capabilities. A more precise breakdown of
necessary functionalities is below:
Â
-         Users: A tiered user system, with general
users,
supervisors, administrators, and super users.
o  General users – add new reports to database, attach notes to
old reports, no editing of old reports, no access to personally
identifiable information. Basic search functionality to find old
reports.
o  Supervisors – all general user functions, plus ability to edit
reports and view personally identifiable information.
o  Administrators – all supervisor and general functions, plus
ability to add and delete users
o  Superusers – all above functions, plus ability to alter form
fields if possible.
Â
-         Login ability: Multiple users,
supervisors, admin,
and superusers must be able to log in at the same time. Depending on
the cost break down, this could look different. We would like to see a
cost scale for having between 100 and 1000 users. Likewise, we would
like to know if there would be a limit or added cost to having
multiple users simultaneously logged in under the same username.
Â
-         Reports: A reporting system that uses
basic forms
for intake, but also allows for searching, sorting and exporting.
o  Intake form – this form will be pre-created, but it would be
useful if superusers had some level of edit ability. It will include
personal data (such as contact information) as well as general data
(such as state, problem description, etc.) in text fields and tick box
and radio buttons to collect other information. The tick boxes and
radio buttons will be used to walk the volunteer through what
questions to ask homeowners that pertain to their specific problem.Â
Some form fields would be hidden and only visible if volunteers ticked
the specified box.
o  Search/sort – users will need to be able to search across
multiple fields, including name, state, problem description, date, and
any of the categories set up. Results should appear in a table format
that is sortable.
o  Export – certain user levels (likely admin and superusers)
will need to export search results as a .csv file, including all
fields (contact information, descriptions, notes, etc.)
Â
There is also potentially a need for a public version of this database
– one which would have basic view and search functions, but would
keep necessary identifying information private.

gathered information by. Â You can reach me at Adrien@... or
510-452-9261 x124.
Thanks!
Dear Colleagues,
Often the folks who post to this list are not familiar with the general
conventions of job descriptions, or with the recommended format for posting
items to Nonprofit_Tech_Jobs@yahoogroups.com. Therefore I am requesting that
all list members (who wish to post to the list) review these guidelines:
* First and foremost, your post must be an announcement of a career opportunity
in nonprofit technology, or it will not be approved. This is not a forum for
make-money-fast schemes, for circulating your resume, or for advertising jobs
that do not have a clear benefit to the nonprofit sector.
* Please put the following information in the subject field of your post: the
job title, the organization that is hiring, and the location of the job. Here's
an example: "Network Engineer, TechFoundation (Cambridge, MA). Note that the
city and state are parenthesized.
* Please be very specific about the skills, qualifications, credentials, and
experience that you are looking for, and about which of these are
non-negotiable.
* Please stipulate whether you are hiring on a full-time, part-time, or
consulting basis. If the job is tied to a time-limited project, be specific
about that. If hiring is contingent on a pending grant or contract, please say
so.
* If the salary, benefits, perks, and reporting structure are already
determined, please consider including them in your post. Jobs that do not
compensate workers with money (e.g., stipends, hourly wages, or salaries) are
not eligible to be listed here; at minimum, you should indicate that you are
announcing a paid position.
* Please include information about your organization. Relevant information
might be some or all of the following: your mission, annual budget, size of
staff, organizational culture, and IT infrastructure.
* Please include very specific instructions about next steps for individuals
who would like more information or who are ready to apply for the position.
Ideally, your post should give the name of the contact person, and his or her
title, email address, street address, phone number, and fax number.
Thanks for your attention to these guidelines. I hope that you will excuse me
for belaboring the obvious, but I think that this will promote clearer
communications for everyone involved.
Many thanks and best regards from Deborah

Frequently Asked Questions
(Questions addressed to Deborah, the list moderator, by members of this email
distribution list)
Q: Are you paid to administer the Nonprofit Tech Jobs list?
A: No. I do it on a volunteer basis, as a service to the community.
Q: Well, then what do you do for a living?
A: I'm an independent consultant in the field of nonprofit technology.
Q: Can you offer me career counseling?
A: Alas, no. I'm not qualified to do that.
Q: Can you review my resume, and find me some job opportunities that would be a
good match?

can't offer to do any extensive research for individual job seekers. However, if
you ask me in person, I may be able to make some helpful suggestions off the top
of my head.
Q: Why don't you provide more nonprofit tech jobs that are based in the region

important to understand that I don't actually create (or fund) the jobs listed
here.

expertise?

Q: I want to work for a specific nonprofit organization. Can you offer me a
special introduction to someone there?

case, I will be glad to do it as a professional courtesy.
Q: Can you give more information about a job that you've posted or about the
organization that is hiring?

announces a tech job on its web site and the time when you post it to the list?
A: I post job announcements to this list in my not-very-copious spare time.
Please accept my apologies if I'm only able to do this a few times a month.
Q: What can I do to assist with the Nonprofit Tech Jobs list?

and email it to <nonprofit_tech_jobs@yahoogroups.com> .
