NonProfit Tech for Good發佈了2016 Global NGO Online Technology Report，這份報告整理了2,780個NGOs組織回應其問卷調查，參與者橫跨六大洲133個不同國家，其中有60％的NGO自評是屬於「小而美」的組織規模(這份調查中並無用制式的員工人數或資金經費額度來評比組織大小，而是讓填寫者可自由寫出對自己組織該歸類於大中小三級中哪一類規模。)當然這其中2700多個所謂的NGO/NPO也有自各的議題關注或倡議焦點，調查中除了揭示今年全球大小NGO/NPO在網站工具與社交媒體使用狀況的統計外，這份報告也稍微分析了一下各NGO捐助者的世代屬性與捐款行為偏好。我個人長期訂閱NonProfit Tech for Good的消息，是覺得其調查結果可作為理解當前NGO/NPO總體社群狀況的參考，故稍把其內容轉貼過來。
今年呈現的數據狀況結果是：

台灣NGO的狀況呢？
我個人「感覺」台灣的狀況（半年為了弄推特訊息發送，自己單方面做的初步整理，但資料很殘缺，也不夠全面），如網站使用，電子報發行，線上募款等數字，應該是和亞洲NGO統計的均質相去不遠。不過似乎在社交媒體網路的應用上，除了臉書外，其它社交網站則差不多是束手就縛完全棄守（或曰待經營開發的處女地狀態吧）。
或許有哪個有力的組織或單位，可以做一下台灣本土NGO問卷調查。
