Building a roadmap your board and funders will support

Published November 4, 2025

Boards want clarity

Nonprofit boards and funders expect technology spending to be predictable, justified, and tied to outcomes. A technology roadmap turns scattered requests into a plan.

What a good roadmap includes

An inventory of current systems, devices, and licenses
Known risks and how they will be addressed
Planned upgrades and replacements with estimated costs
Priorities tied to programs and mission goals

Plan in advance for grants

Including technology in grant applications is easier when the needs are already documented and priced.

Review regularly

Update the roadmap quarterly as programs, funding, and risks change.
