CEDC has a job opening for a web developer/media designer! The short form is that we're looking for a person who has a conscience and some skills. You know, like Drupal/Joomla skills, print design skills, logo skills, bow-hunting skills... Below is the complete job description and instructions on how to apply. Please pass it around to anyone who might be interested.

If your non-profit has a blog, you may need imagery periodically to illustrate a post. Here are a few resources to help you locate free (or low cost) imagery. (They can potentially also help with other projects, but make sure that you don't use an image just because it is free when you can find another image that would make a campaign or advertisement much more effective).

We've prepared a logo questionnaire for non-profits that need to have a logo designed (or re-designed). If you need some help brainstorming, take a look at the questions we ask and see if they are helpful. As designers, having this information at the start of a project will help not only provide you with a more accurate cost estimate, but will ensure that we are designing according to your specifications and that the end result is better matched to your organizational needs.

We have a volunteer-run program to take computers that are donated to us and make minor updates to ready them for use by groups that fall under our mission.  We give them away for free to these groups. We only accept functioning and relatively recent computers since we don't often have volunteers to actually go through and rebuild the machines from the ground up.

Here are a few statistics about getting a refurb (or continuing to use the computer you currently have):

While we definitely encourage the use of open source software where possible and appropriate, there are times when you may need commercial software. TechSoup is one place where you can find some of it discounted heavily for non-profits. They also have online resources, from blogs and forums to articles and links, all for the benefit of non-profits.
