Dynamic Edge Tech Grant Program
The Dynamic Edge Tech Grant program exists to help local non-profit organizations fund a project they may have put aside due to funding issues, lack of expertise, or both. Dynamic Edge aims to assist a local non-profit by either kick starting a specific IT project, helping the organization assess and budget for its long term IT needs, or assessing and maintaining an existing technology project. Because each organization’s needs are different, your project ideas are limited only by your imagination.
Sample projects include, but are not limited to:
- IT budget and planning
- Financial software (Ex: QuickBooks, etc.) assessment and or training
- Web site development or redevelopment
- Network assessment and maintenance
- Business or process consulting
- Database creation or revitalization
- New server installation or maintenance
- Search engine optimization / AdWords

Because this application is an online form, we recommend writing answers in a separate document, then copying and pasting answers into the fields. By having the information separate, in the event of a technical failure your work will not be lost.
