Interactive Web and CD-ROM technologies hold enormous promise for non-profit organizations, including the ability to

• Quickly and cost-effectively mobilize supporters for advocacy work
• Provide interactive consumer and provider education at a distance
• Develop effective, mission-driven communications projects
• Enhance communications and information sharing with a vast, global audience
• Initiate dynamic, ongoing fund-raising appeals

And next-generation technologies have the potential to even further increase the effectiveness of an agency’s programmatic and informational work. However, few nonprofits have the internal resources needed to fully realize an effective new media project—and most lack the in-house expertise required to effectively plan, cost, manage, develop, and launch these projects. As a result, organizations often find themselves partnered with commercial vendors who don't live up to their promises and saddled with projects that get out of control and stretch out over time and over budget.

NinthBridge guides nonprofit organizations around the pitfalls of constantly changing technologies, complex vendor relationships, and cost overruns due to poor project design. We plan, devise, and produce new media projects that can be done on schedule and on budget, allowing an organization to use these technologies to their full potential.

A “One-Stop” Shop

NinthBridge is unique because we understand the communications and informational needs of mission-driven organizations in a way that commercial vendors cannot—and we are able to supply the missing link in the development process between the content owners and the technical developers. In fact, our mixture of technical and content expertise is rare in both the non-profit and for-profit worlds.

NinthBridge is a “one-stop” shop for designing and producing new media projects. We plan and develop concepts for dynamic, achievable projects based on an assessment of an organization’s existing content and multimedia assets—including publications, documents, and visual materials—reorganize these assets for optimal use, coordinate project and content design, find and manage the best graphics and technical vendors for each project, and oversee the project-development process for Web sites, CD-ROM projects, and distance learning programs.

We ensure sustainability and lasting effectiveness by also planning launch, maintenance, or rollout plans for each project, and we can even assist your organization in navigating the fund-raising and proposal process for your new-media project.
