Digital Adoption Survey Aims to Learn More About the Digital Divide

Written by Allyson Kapin | 2015/2/18
How do online services and Internet access help you and your team deliver services and programs, and connect you with the people you serve? A new Digital Adoption Survey  explores how organizations keep staff connected, from offices to virtual teams, as well as how the Internet factors into program or service delivery.

NTEN and Mobile Citizen are teaming up for this survey to better understand online technology and digital inclusion among nonprofits and the communities nonprofits serve. Throughout this digital adoption survey, we define digital divide as any barrier that prevents people from being able to access technology.

With this survey, NTEN and Mobile Citizen also seek to better understand how your organization’s communities influence the technological decisions your staff and board make. We hope this research provides an initial benchmark that we can all learn from and build on together.

Data from the survey will be shared in multiple formats this Spring,including a full report, webinars, and case studies. Better understanding the tools and needs of nonprofit staff and the community will also help develop resources, educational programs, and other content in the near future. But to get this information, they need your help.

We're calling on all nonprofits to take this short and important survey. All survey participants can enter a drawing for a $500 Amazon Gift Card! The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. Your answers will remain anonymous and will be reported in aggregate only.
