Apparo’s G.A.I.N. (Growth, Agility and Innovation for Nonprofits) Grant Program provides nonprofit participants with the tools, training and other support they need to implement and sustain their technology and process improvements. G.A.I.N. delivers a one-year journey of technology and process improvement to a cohort of nonprofits to help them overcome their technology challenges and amplify their nonprofit impact. The G.A.I.N. program is generously sponsored by Lowe’s.
In this phase of their G.A.I.N. journey, OMITT was matched to skilled volunteers from CapTech Consulting, who will work with OMITT to conduct as assessment of their current technology challenges to provide actionable recommendations for improvement. Volunteers will guide OMITT through the anticipated impacts of implementing the new technology plan and will provide strategies to help effectively manage changes in the organization.
