National Organizations Doing Technology Outreach? 15
Phil Shapiro asks: "My neighborhood church has a Technology Mission comprised of volunteers doing computer support work for various good causes in the community.

I would recommend that you check out AC4 [ac4.org], the Association for Christian Computing Centers, also known as TechMission. I used to work for one of their secular partners, CTCNet [ctcnet.org] which does similar things but for community- as opposed to church-oriented sites.
If you'd like to see how we've been doing things for the past couple of years, check out our website at NPOTechs.org [npotechs.org].
And good luck!
