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).

IT Staff : Staff Ratio really 1:26
i've just received the following from NTEN:
having spent many days looking at steve.museum tagging statistics (i should have an update before too long), i can understand how this might happen... check, double check, and don't trust the machine if your gut says it's not quite right!
