statistics

NetSquared's fiscal year begins July 1, so every summer I look back at the previous year of the community's activity to identify trends and lessons learned. This time I'll be looking at FY19, which covers July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

NetSquared is TechSoup’s global network of volunteer-led nonprofit technology meetups. We're the answer to the question “where can I get support to use technology effectively at my nonprofit?” Event attendees build their networks and learn practical digital skills to support their programs, marketing and fundraising.

You like numbers? Here’s NetSquared’s April stats.

The most important metric for me is the number of active groups, because it demonstrates that a city has a hub for nonprofit techies to come together and learn from each other. That it’s up 38% year-over-year makes me very pleased.

Here’s your NetSquared stats update for May 2016:

We’re three quarters of the way through TechSoup’s fiscal year. Whooo!

I’ve compiled the stats for NetSquared for March and for the first three months of 2016.

You’ll see growth has been very strong, which can largely be attributed to the amazing energy of our organizer community and the investments we’ve made into the Regional Ambassadors who offer in-person training events and online support to local NetSquared organizers. The expansion of NetSquared’s reach means we’re helping more nonprofits use technology to make more good in the world!

Here’s your January 2016 NetSquared stats. We totally slayed our year-over-year numbers. :-)

Congratulations to the NetSquared organizers – I’m continually inspired by your deep commitment to building nonprofit tech community. 

We’re half way through TechSoup’s fiscal year. Whooo!

I’ve compiled the NetSquared stats for December and for the last three months of 2015.

You’ll see growth has been very strong, which can largely be attributed to the amazing energy of our organizer community and the investments we’ve made into the Regional Ambassadors who offer in-person training events. Oh, all right, I’ll take a bit of credit too!. :-)
