Here’s how we helped our nonprofit partners through Tech Therapy in July:
BackPack Weekend Food Program:
We defined the scope for their upcoming Community Impact Project, in which they will receive help selecting an application.
The BackPack Weekend Food Program, Inc. provides children in need with a plastic bag of nonperishable, individually-portioned, nutritionally-balanced food to take home in their backpacks on the weekend when school meals are not available.
Charlotte Bilingual Preschool:
We discussed how they can move their DropBox file storage to SharePoint/OneDrive, and recommended doing a Community Impact Project to do the migration and training for their staff.
Charlotte Bilingual Preschool prepares Spanish-speaking children for success in school and life by providing superior dual-language early childhood education. The preschool supports students’ families with parenting, life skills and English-language classes, enabling them to sustain and nurture their children’s educational and emotional development.
Dress for Success Charlotte:
We helped them setup parameters for their learning center desktops so multiple users can access them without making system changes.
Dress for Success empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
The Echo Foundation:
We defined their upcoming Community Impact Project description. They will receive a technology assessment and help selecting a database application.
The Echo Foundation brings world-renowned humanitarians to Charlotte to deliver messages that galvanize souls to action on behalf of humankind.
Habitat for Humanity Charlotte:
They will be maintaining Our Towns Habitat for Humanity’s SQL (Structured Query Language) database going forward, so we recommended bringing in skilled-volunteers to help them migrate the data and create a new database as well as help with creating custom SQL reports for one of their applications. We also scoped a Community Impact Project for both of these projects.

We are configuring a firewall to install into their network.

We provided a recommendation on an online auction platform and advised on using SharePoint as a Board portal, including guiding them through setting up a sub-site with specific permissions.
Hospitality House of Charlotte provides the comforts of home for families of seriously ill loved ones by offering affordable accommodations in the heart of Charlotte’s medical community.
House of Mercy:
They are interesting in purchasing two laptops, so we are reaching out to get quotes on refurbished and new options. We also provided advice on phone systems, infrastructure, and more about laptops. We acquired quotes for two phone providers andprovided recommendations and pricing on a 55″ LED monitor, HDMI adapter, Polycom phone and webcam.
The House of Mercy strives to give individual and corporate witness to the compassion and love of God to Persons Living with AIDS while embracing the value of sacredness of life, justice, human dignity, service and integrity.

We provided advice on network cabling in their new building.

WOMEN INITIATING AND NURTURING GROWTH THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS (WINGS):
