Nonprofits embarking on a digital transformation journey often encounter fundamental challenges such as identifying available tools, determining where to start, operating on resource constraints, and articulating their technology needs and goals. To address these, ILSS has launched the Digital Transformation for Social Impact Program to provide holistic and valuable insights, empowering organizations to make informed technology-related decisions.
Complementing this program, the Digital Toolbook for Social Impact platform is designed as a comprehensive resource that equips the social sector with the means to navigate and accelerate its digital journeys. We collate curated digital tools and technologies, connect you with expert service providers, and present successful digital transformation case studies from the social sector. Furthermore, Digital Tool book for Social Impact aggregates essential capacity-building courses to enhance digital skills across your organization.
Our goal is to provide nonprofits with a practical starting point and ongoing support by offering clear, accessible information and pathways for growth. We aim to enable organizations to embark on and progress through their digital transformation journey confidently.
Insights from "The State Of The Sector Report On Digital Transformation For Nonprofits In India" revealed that organizations, despite their diverse objectives and locations, face common technology-related challenges. These include uncertainty about available digital tools and technologies, struggles with identifying and articulating technology needs and goals, and budgeting dilemmas beyond just applications and subscriptions. The report also highlighted that nonprofits are at various stages in their digital journey, with many experimenting with digital tools but a significant number still struggling to navigate the vast array of options and potential uncertainties surrounding their use.
This tool book was inspired by the needs and opportunities highlighted in this critical study. The tool book comprehensively covers information on:

Handpicked solutions tailored for the unique requirements of the nonprofit sector.

Connections to vetted implementation and support professionals.

Real-world examples of how social sector organizations have successfully leveraged digital solutions to amplify their mission and drive meaningful change.

An aggregation of vital learning resources to develop and enhance digital skills within your team.
Our intention is to continually expand and refine this comprehensive resource, ultimately creating an indispensable handbook and a dynamic meeting place for tech providers and beneficiaries in the social sector.
