Who is Responsible for NPAction?
NPAction is a project of OMB Watch. Funding for this project was provided by Atlantic Philanthropies, the Ford Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and the Surdna Foundation.
Special thanks to the OMB Watch staff and Charity Lobbying in the Public Interest, an NPAction Partner organization, for their contributions and advice. The lead OMB Watch project staff are Ryan Turner, Kay Guinane, and Matt Carter. The staff work in conjunction with an editorial advisory committee to identify, develop, organize, and refine the content offerings on the site, and to implement suggestions based upon feedback from website visitors.
Our programming and design partner in this immense undertaking is The Sapient Group. In an effort to encourage greater nonprofit utilization of affordable newer technologies to foster increased communications and knowledge management capacity, we built the core set of NPAction tools using only free open source tools.
The website is built upon the open source eZ publish content management system (CMS) developed by eZ systems created in PHP programming language, developed for mySQL database functions, utilizing the Linux operating system, and running on Apache web server.
NPAction's Take Action contact system was developed using the commercially available CapWiz online grassroots advocacy services provided by Capitol Advantage.
