New Report: Nonprofit IT Staffing: Staffing Levels, Recruiting, Retention, and Outsourcing

There's a new report out from NTEN and the Nonprofit Times about IT staffing in Not for Profits. Download the report

Highlights from the Executive Summary:

• On average, nonprofits employ one IT staff member for every 18 employees.
• Most nonprofits continue to feel understaffed when it comes to IT. Size of organization did not seem
  to impact staffing satisfaction.
  
• IT staff spend their time in much the same way, regardless of organization size or level of technology adoption. For the second year, the largest percentage of staff time, roughly 40%, is spent on desktop and application support.
• The average tenure for IT staff at nonprofits is 4.3 years. Tenures were longer for larger organizations and organizations that felt they had greater technology adoption.
• Almost all nonprofits outsource at least some technology tasks; more technical tasks continue to be
  more commonly outsourced.
  

There are reports coming on Salaries & Budgets and IT Management & Planning based on the same survey

It will be useful to have data from the broader not-for-profit sector to compare to the results of our survey of museum technology (which it may be time to update).
