2024 Nonprofit Digital Investments Report

The 2024 Nonprofit Digital Investments Report is a comprehensive analysis of technology budgeting and investment priorities among nonprofit organizations. Conducted by NTEN and Heller Consulting, the report examines how nonprofits allocate their technology budgets, the sources of funding, and the challenges they face in technology adoption. It highlights that the primary funding for technology comes from general operating funds, with training representing a minimal portion of the budget. The report also reveals that data systems are a major focus for current tech investments, as organizations prepare to integrate artificial intelligence tools. Additionally, it discusses the lack of external reporting on technology spending, indicating that many nonprofits do not share this information with stakeholders. The findings aim to provide insights into the realities of nonprofit technology investment and encourage discussions within the sector about improving practices and outcomes.
