| | Nonprofit knocks Good evening, Baltimore, and happy almost-weekend! I spent most of the week elated about our upcoming Technical.ly Awards — which we'll name via our public Slack at noon on Dec. 14, so if you've yet to sign up for that, click the image below this message — but today, I'm looking at some dispiriting news about our city's outwardly seeming robust nonprofit sector. The Abell Foundation yesterday released a report in which Harvard researchers found that nonprofits contracting with Baltimore's city government were waiting upward of a year to get their money. It reminded me of the "State of the Baltimore Nonprofit Sector" report that the T. Rowe Price Foundation put out last month that found the sector's leadership pipeline "remains tenuous at best," as well as that it was less financially healthy than it seems. The latter foundation also noted that the best expense was technology, which suggests opportunity for tech-focused nonprofits, individual technologists and startups alike to help the 501(c)(3) ecosystem get even stronger and better track finances — whether from donors or the city. What would you, as technologists and tech-adjacent professionals, do to fix these deficits?
