About NPower PA

Nonprofits meet many diverse needs in the community: educating our youth; challenging and overcoming discrimination; preserving open space; taking back abandoned neighborhoods; and enriching and illuminating our lives with art.

However, as diverse as their work is, most nonprofits have something in common: scarce resources. For nonprofits to fully achieve their missions, these resources must be maximized. Information technologies hold enormous potential to help nonprofits work smarter and reach farther. But nonprofits are seldom equipped to capitalize on advanced technologies without outside consultation and training.

NPower PA exists to serve nonprofits' technology needs. Every day, we are putting technology know-how in the hands of non-profits. They, in turn, are meeting the Philadelphia region's needs more effectively and efficiently.

Overview

NPower PA is an affiliate of the NPower Network, a national network of local nonprofits that help other nonprofits use technology to better serve their communities. In addition to Microsoft Corporation's visionary and founding support of the NPower Network, NPower PA received start up funding from the William Penn Foundation.

Since opening our doors in April 2003, we have supported over 450 organizations, facilitated donations of over $1.3 million in software to local nonprofits, and hosted over 3,200 student-hours of training. Our service area is comprised of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in PA, and Camden County, NJ.
