Ask an Expert: Tech Help for Nonprofits

Buckeye Innovation is bringing its team to the Main Library on Tuesday, November 10, from 9 AM to 11 AM. They'll be set up at the Business & Nonprofit Resource Center, and the whole morning is dedicated to answering digital tech questions for nonprofits. It's part of the library's Ask an Expert series, a grant-funded program open to new and existing nonprofit organizations and their employees. If you're looking for digital help but aren't connected to a nonprofit, the library staff can point you toward other resources.

The people you'll be sitting down with are specialists in digital content, design, and strategy. They're there to give advice on a wide range of technical ground: website strategy and redevelopment, custom applications and dashboards, workflow automation, SEO and digital performance, digital accessibility, AI opportunity assessments, and digital fundraising. Whether you're trying to figure out how to get your site to actually show up in search results, wondering if AI has a place in your operations, or just need a second set of eyes on your fundraising tools, this is the time to bring those questions.

It also helps to know where this is happening. The Business & Nonprofit Resource Center is a dedicated workspace for small businesses and nonprofits within the Main Library, and it's more than just a place to sit. It's staffed by specialized librarians and gives you access to business and nonprofit research databases. There's a co-working area with Windows and Mac computers equipped with Adobe Creative Cloud, and a private meeting room you can reserve. If you've been working from your kitchen table, it's a good excuse to get out of the house and into a space built for this kind of work.

So, if you're running a nonprofit and have a list of digital hurdles you haven't had the time or the expertise to clear, bring it all along. The session runs from 9 AM to 11 AM on Tuesday, November 10, at the Business & Nonprofit Resource Center in the Main Library, 96 South Grant Avenue.
