Any conversation about technology should also be a conversation about community. Too often in philanthropy, discussions and decisions related to tech happen in ways that perpetuate inequity and impede social progress. Fortunately, there is a way forward.

Amy Sample Ward and Afua Bruce are leading the way. Their new book, The Tech That Comes Next, is focused on how to bring social impact organizations, funders, policy makers, technologists, and communities together through technology to promote lasting change.

Listen to this episode to learn:

• Why we’re all technologists now

• How tech builds relationships across the social impact sector

• What technology decisions during the pandemic can teach us

• How to foster collaboration and break down silos

• Why a stroll might be better than a sprint

Drawn for a recent Submittable webinar with Amy and Afua, this audio conversation will serve professionals across the social impact sector, from nonprofits to funders, looking to center community in their tech strategy.
