摘要:Among smaller nonprofit organizations, budget limits constrain IT investments and use. Many organizations rely on a combination of donated equipment, volunteers, and non-IT staff members to conduct large elements of their IT operations. The limitations of this “Do-It-Yourself” IT (DIY-IT) model make it less attractive as a long-term solution. An alternative model of providing IT services is proposed, in which nonprofit organizations receive IT services through undergraduate information systems course projects and the activities of sponsored students. The proposed model is designed to be more affordable, more standardized, and more sustainable than the current IT practices of many small to medium-sized nonprofit organizations
