While several national groups are providing technical assistance to nonprofits, the programs of Organizers' Collaborative (OC) are uniquely focused on the needs of grassroots social change groups. We believe that real change will occur only through a vibrant movement involving tens of thousands of small organizations. Even though these groups are impacted most severely by the digital divide, they are sometimes "under the radar" of national technology support organizations.

OC's projects (like the Organizational Divide Initiative, ODB, and DemocracyGroups) involve and directly serve the grassroots activist community.

OC is a 501(c)(3) organization eligible to receive tax-exempt donations. We use the nonprofit Groundspring donation service. This service lets you give any amount. Here are recommended gifts:

	Individual Memberships	Organizations

For a donation of $100 or more, you may choose two of the premiums, and if you give before 1/5/05, some of the premiums are available for new members who donate $25 or more!
