Hayley is passionate about empowering nonprofits like FINCA International–and their tech-focused board members– to drive meaningful impact through technology & tech governance. In our latest video, she shares how AWS solutions—like data lakes and generative AI—are helping FINCA tackle data challenges, streamline operations, and amplify their mission. "Anytime we can get the word out around how nonprofits are leveraging technology, it’s imperative for other nonprofit organizations to learn, network, and leverage best practices." Tune in to learn how the board-led tech at FINCA is transforming their work and setting a new standard for innovation in the sector! #AWSforGood #NonprofitInnovation #DataforImpact #TechforGood #GenerativeAI

Can the tech industry better serve nonprofits? At The Collaborative Collective, we see firsthand how many nonprofits are locked out of the tools they need due to high subscription costs and limited access to essential features. Yet, nonprofits are the ones tackling society's most pressing challenges. Our latest blog explores how tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and monday.com are starting to change the game by offering true partnerships—donating services, providing free training, and creating nonprofit-focused communities. But there's still much work to be done. Read more about how the tech industry can shift its approach to support nonprofits and fuel their missional impact. https://lnkd.in/gj_W5rUA

I am not in to tech. 🤖 Full stop. I have reluctantly been corralled in to using LastPass. I have grudgingly begun to use MetaBusiness Suite. I have cursed while figuring out how to simultaneously run 4 email addresses. But am I "into" tech? Heck no. This relationship feels necessary at best, and abusive at its worst. And likely there are MANY of you like me - wishing they could just do "people" stuff vs handling the tech. But friends who are leading in nonprofit, don't take you hands off the wheel. Your staff needs you to care about the tech (even if its just a little bit). So if you are like me, not in to tech but somehow HAVING to engage with tech, hang out with me and Tim Lockie this coming Wednesday. Tim has created a session that not only gets to the psychology of why tech fails in nonprofits but also HOW you as a leader can improve chances for success.

How can non-profits better leverage technology? 🗯️ We are so honored to be an Okta for Good grantee, getting to work closely with Fast Forward and its portfolio organizations. We were excited to hear it announced a new $50m commitment to help support non-profits and the social sector. https://lnkd.in/gwi7wZwx This is desperately needed because: - non profits are the second most cyber-attacked sector after governments - the risk of threat has exploded in the age of AI - most non profits can feel they don’t have the resources to protect themselves - in fact 65% of them lack confidence in their own security - non profits building technology interventions need support to design usable and impactful tools to achieve their mission We partner with organizations to help them design tech for good — addressing power imbalances, increasing people’s safety, resilience and agency — and we can’t wait to tell you more about what we’ve been enabled to deliver with our own Okta grant.
