Back in 2010, a couple of computer geeks (Tina Arnoldi and Michael Carnell) saw a number of nonprofits struggling with their technology and lacking the funds to pay for support. Their mission is to provide technology support, training, and resources to the South Carolina Lowcounty not-for-profit community. Through their website, local nonprofits can submit a request for tech support. Their services are volunteer based and free of charge, so that nonprofits can save their money for the things that really matter.
