SEATTLE — NPower today announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is providing a $213,000 grant for the extension of NPower’s unique online technology planning tool for nonprofits, TechAtlas. The grant, which represents the Gates Foundation’s second major investment in this tool, will support the tool’s adaptation into different versions customized for specific sectors of nonprofits such as community technology centers, libraries, and legal service programs.

Created by NPower, TechAtlas is a free online tool that more than 7,000 nonprofits have used to take control of their own technology planning. With TechAtlas, nonprofits can assess their existing technology and create a step-by-step plan for building technology capacity that will support their mission.
