“…Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the nonprofit sector. As well as rising demand for services pre-pandemic, CSOs have experienced an increase and intensification of demand resulting from the pandemic (Pro Bono Economics, 2020, 2021EFA and Salesforce.org, 2020). Service delivery and fundraising were adversely impacted by increased demands from other service closures and exacerbated by social distancing requirements (EFA and Salesforce.org, 2020;Pro Bono Economics, 2020, 2021.…”

Civil society refers to social institutions outside of the confines of households, the market and the state. Such institutions provide a wide range of facilities and services in communities and society, generate employment, and create significant economic value through direct, indirect and induced expenditure. Notwithstanding this, voluntary, social and community organisations are rarely included in indices seeking to measure digital progress in society. Digital technologies can transform how civil society organisations operate and interact with their stakeholders. This chapter defines civil society, discusses the role they play in society, and the opportunities and challenges for digital adoption and use in civil society.

In this research note, we examine web‐based accountability practices of human service nonprofits. Data were collected directly from the organizational websites of an international sample of 532 organizations involved in operating sport for social change programs, more commonly known as the field of sport for development and peace. Websites were coded using the nonprofit virtual accountability index—a theoretically grounded and robust tool—to measure information and interactivity available for stakeholders across five dimensions of accountability. Analyses of variance and independent t‐tests were used to test potential group differences based on geographical region, the thematic types of social change efforts, and the type of sport used to deliver programming. The results of this analysis highlight the critical importance of geographical location and other organizational variables for web‐based accountability practices. Furthermore, the results allow nonprofit leaders to identify common areas in need of improvement for smaller and emerging nonprofits.

Despite substantial innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that could benefit non‐governmental organizations (NGOs), NGOs are not using ICT yet to their full potential – especially compared to the ICT use in the private sector. Such behavior appears counterintuitive as one would expect NGOs to use every available resource to further their important mission. However, reservations appear to remain even though several case studies demonstrated the value ICT can generate for NGOs. Through a series of 20 interviews with NGOs of various sizes and backgrounds, we examined the use of ICT along the NGO value chain (program design, fundraising, fund management, and program delivery). We find a distinct prioritization of ICT support along the value chain. Based on these findings, we identify six sector‐specific reasons for NGOs not to use ICT for certain activities. With these, we add to known reasons in the literature and offer important avenues for further research.
