Technology is deployed in every facet of modern living today, and philanthropy is not left behind. With technology, charity organizations can reach a wider audience and execute their objectives more effectively.

Social media is one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time. With the press of a button, you can reach out to millions of people across the world. For instance, Twitter can get your request soliciting donations to millions of people across the globe in a matter of hours.

Similarly, philanthropic organizations increasingly use big data to provide insights into communities that are not particularly visible. These communities often get overlooked and are not captured by the radar of philanthropy. However, big data has made it easier to gather and analyze funding data, properly tying them to geographical locations.

Accountability is an important aspect of running a philanthropic organization. Donors are often particular about how funds have been spent and utilized. With centralized online reporting platforms, philanthropic organizations can share real-time data regarding their work and impact with stakeholders and funders.
