New guide. Each year, the Heller Consulting team comes together and assesses the trends we\u2019re seeing in the nonprofit technology sector. We\u2019re thrilled to share our 2023 edition.<\/p>\n<p>The past year has been a period of transition and adaptation for nonprofits, as organizations have navigated a rapidly changing landscape of data, technology, and talent. Despite challenges, nonprofits are looking forward and thinking strategically about how to best leverage technology to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Key trends shaping the nonprofit sector in 2023: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>DATA<\/h3>\n<p>Nonprofits are shifting their focus from collecting as much data as possible to curating high-quality data that is relevant to their missions and goals. Privacy and security also continue to be a top priority for organizations.<\/p>\n<h3>TECHNOLOGY<\/h3>\n<p>The technology world continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Adoption of Microsoft solutions is accelerating. Salesforce is making changes to staffing and the structure of how it is supporting nonprofits. We\u2019re seeing nonprofits are taking a more deliberate approach to how they plan and implement technology.<\/p>\n<h3>PEOPLE<\/h3>\n<p>All organizations are depending on a highly skilled workforce, and the nonprofit sector is no exception.
