New Tools: Content Filtering and User Monitoring
Have you noticed new tools in Grassroots.org's Toolbox lately? Grassroots.org teamed up with the Cyclope Series to provide in total, $3,200 worth of new tools. These tools will help:
- restrict unwanted internet content for your organization's computing network
- monitor internet usage for your computing network
- improve employee efficiency in the work environment
- integrate a network solution to the Children's Internet Protection Act
You can now signup for two new tools:
- Free Content Filtering: Prevents unwanted or unsafe material from appearing on any computer or network you specify
- Free User Monitoring: Receive updated statistics on Internet usage in your network
Check out the demo version of these tools in action, courtesy of Cyclope. The web is now more advanced than ever, and the information we can access is easily spread online. Login to the Toolbox and apply for these tools to help keep your client-base safe and increase efficiency.
Social Ventures Spring 2009
On May 5, students from the Robert H. Smith School of Business met with members of the nonprofit community to present the results of the Spring 2009 Social Ventures Consulting Project. Attendees from the Grassroots.org team included founder and chairman, Mike Mann, board member Brian Taff, and executive director Shane Hankins. This term, nine Grassroots.org members were selected to receive free project consulting. A total of twenty-four Smith MBA students provided $46,800 worth of services at no-charge! Thank you to the Smith School students and the nonprofit members who helped make this term's projects a success. Stay posted--we will announce the application deadlines for this upcoming term soon!
