To train charitable nonprofits in how to select and use technology in sustainable ways that increase impact; to design and run highly collaborative nonprofit technology events, focused on knowledge sharing and development of peer support networks; and to provide advice, strategy support, tools, and resources to charitable projects and foundations to help them achieve their missions of delivering high-impact technology that can meet the needs of those working for a better world.
Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably.
In 2019, through our Strategic Event Services Program, Aspiration facilitated more than 30 events across the United States and Europe. These events dealt with a wide variety of nonprofit technology issues that affect human rights workers, environmental organizations, internet freedom, and grassroots organizations. Thousands of nonprofit staff, activists, and students representing hundreds of organizations benefited from our interactive, inclusive event format at these gatherings.
Aspiration's Core Skills Capacity Building Program continued to support nonprofit staff around the state and held our eighth California Nonprofit Technology Festival in Los Angeles, CA, which brought together grassroots nonprofit staff, techies, and activists from around the state to share skills and best practices. We also completed our project working with Resources Legacy Fund to provide capacity building services to five Building Healthy Community Hubs in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
Our Human Rights Tech program continued our support of the Digital Freedom Fund, an organization we helped launch to pursue strategic litigation in Europe.
