NPower turns rise in tech assessments into New Center jobs

Model D, 11/20/2008

One Detroit non-profit is carving out it's own niche by helping to make other non-profits more efficient.

Excerpt:

Npower Michigan is turning new business into a few new hires at its headquarters in the Youthville building in New Center.

The non-profit spun out of Microsoft performs tech assessments for other non-profits. The idea is to find inexpensive ways so these community organizations can work more efficiently. Npower Michigan is sort of the Great Lakes State chapter of the larger Npower non-profit.

Npower Michigan is set to do 114 technology assessments in the later half of this year. That's three times as many assessments it did for Michigan non-profits in 2008 fiscal year.
