We're collaborating with Aspiration and their Social Source Commons to develop and maintain a series of "toolkits" -- lists of free and open source tools that can help non-profit organizations realize their goals and mission.
By using Social Source Commons and their toolkits framework, we can ensure that this list will continue to be useful and relevant over time. This is a community project, however, and we need your help to maintain the lists.
These are tools we think non-profit and other civil society or non-governmental organizations could be making use of in desktop environments, on web servers, and on back office servers:
We also have now put up a FOSS Tools for Nonprofit Technology Project Management toolkit - it came out of the Managing Nonprofit Technology Projects event, Jan 10-11, 2008.
If you have thoughts about this array of toolkits or the way we've broken them out, or if you think there is a toolkit missing from the list, add a comment. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
We've created this SSC Toolbox to help us maintain an accurate and reliable list of free and open source software for non-profit organizations. If you have questions or thoughts on these toolboxes, please add them in the comments below!
Visit the toolbox itself and create an account on Social Source Commons to add and update applications.
If no tools show up, it's a glitch on the SSC end. Please wait a bit, and try back later.
