  1. List of charities seeking geeks on Where Can One Find Computer Related Charity Work? · · Score: 2
    Try these:

    In the UK, VOIS might be one to investigate, or FHIT, or Oneworld, or even VSO. The Information Works build database solutions for non-profit groups. There is also an Oxford based charity 'dedicated to strengthening the capacity of not-for-profit organisations in the third world through the use of information and communication technologies'.

    Thse guys pioneered a 'circuit riders' concept in the US. The Technology Project in the US is 'dedicated to accelerating social and political progress by building technological capacity for community collaboration and citizen engagement'. For current news about technology and non-profits, see here.

    There are several organisations working in 'developing' countries, such as this one working to 'accelerate socio-economic development and education through the use of emerging technologies in Ghana and throughout the African continent'.

    In Australia, the Computerbank project works in redistributing computer equipment and providing training.

    Many charity recruitment pages also list vacancies for IT professionals.

    I have a big bunch of more academic links on ICT and non-profit management if anyone's interested.
