Funding Technology Projects

The unfortunate reality of technology funding is this: There is no magical technology funder out there. So when you hire a new employee, you're on your own to find a computer for them and all the software for it—including licenses for any databases or systems you use—and those costs add up quickly. To fund such technology, you need to be creative and look beyond foundation support. How can you reduce technology costs and raise technology money at the same time?

Once you've decided upon a technology project, the first step is to think about ways to make it less expensive.
