The Community Foundation Technology Initiative was a comprehensive, field-wide plan to build community foundation readiness, capacity and infrastructure over a 3-year time frame. The plan proposes carefully selected improvements to current systems and, at the same time, provide the catalyst needed to drive development of “next generation” core system software.
