Training and Support
Partner Organizations
Design Action Collective- is an independent design and communications spin-off of Inkworks Press Collective. After more than a decade of offering graphic design services to non-profit, grassroots, and activist organizations under the same roof as its print shop, Inkworks decided that both its print and design services would benefit from the creation of a new collective. This has allowed us to expand our design capabilities, to provide web and other interactive and "new media" services, and expand to include strategic communications and messaging.
Electric Embers - provides Internet hosting services for nonprofits, cooperatives, artists and other not-for-profit entities. By enabling and enhancing our clients' communications, we help them to envision and create a world that is more just, sustainable and beautiful. To that end, we aim to uphold these values in our own work: we use free or open-source software, re-use hardware, generate no profit for outside stakeholders, and participate in no advertising of any kind. We are owned entirely by our workers and support democracy in the workplace. We stay small to ensure responsive and personal support for our users. In cooperation with others, we catalyze software development that improves existing services and invents new ones. We contribute a portion of our income to support the software projects we rely on and to reverse unsustainable resource use. Electric Embers is an ecologically, economically and socially responsible alternative to corporate hosting.
Democracy In Action -is a nonprofit organization that was founded in June of 2003 with the belief that information and communications technology and, in particular, online advocacy tools are a force that organizations and individuals can use to inspire social change and should be accessible to those with an interest in building a more civil society.
Scout Seven - harnesses the convergence of online technology, grassroots organizing, media advocacy and social justice. We provide web development, strategic consulting, training, and capacity building support to nonprofit, public-interest organizations using the Internet to enhance their programs and campaigns.
Aspiration connects nonprofit organizations with software solutions that help them better carry out their work. We want nonprofit organizations to obtain and use the best software to maximize their effectiveness and impact so that they, in turn, can change the world.
