142: How technology is meeting charity challenges

The last few years have been challenging for charities. A global pandemic hastened the speed of digital transformation for the entire sector, widespread inflation led to growing costs and more precarious fundraising, and charities have had to balance rising service demand with an uncertain economy.   But many of these challenges have predated the pandemic – what’s changed is the way we rise to them. Evolving technology has allowed charities to innovate more than ever before, with advances in everything from web accessibility to digital fundraising.  In this podcast, we’re joined by Tony Connor, Senior Director of Product Marketing at PIR.org, the organisation that looks after the .org domain name, to discuss how technology is developing to meet charity’s challenges, both old and new.   Resources: .ORG Learning Center - .ORG Learning Center - .ORG Learning Center Charity Digital - Charity Digital - Home Top tech trends for 2024 - Charity Digital - Topics - Tech trends for 2024
