Solving the Meeting Efficiency Gap for Nonprofit Boards For many nonprofit boards, the common challenge is the manual board workflows, leading to little time focused on impact. From preparing board packs and juggling among multiple apps for meeting and document review to tracking board decisions, many nonprofits still rely on manual processes that create administrative drag, version control issues, and security risks. This collaboration is designed to address that burden. Convene Board Portal gives nonprofit boards a smarter, simpler, and more secure way to manage the entire board meeting cycle in just one place. During meetings, integrated video conferencing, secure document sharing, and real-time collaboration tools allow directors to review materials, annotate documents, and make decisions without switching between apps. Now powered with the smarter AI Companion, Convene integrates intelligent assistance to ensure faster, more efficient board meetings without compromising your security. Features like the Meeting Assistant and Context Intelligence instantly summarize documents, uncover key details, and allow you to ask questions about your meeting materials. With its drag-and-drop Agenda Builder, staff can instantly create and update meeting packs without the hassles of back-and-forth emails and outdated file versions. Directors then always have their hands on the right materials, saving much time on meeting preparation. Post-meetings, features like e-voting, digital signatures, and centralized action tracking ensure that decisions are documented and follow-through stays on track. Equipped with more advanced capabilities, Convene AI's Automated Minutes generates accurate, board-ready minutes the moment your meeting ends. This feature automatically organizes data and polishes the meeting records into a professional format while instantly generating AI-suggested action items - keeping the mission on track even after the board meeting. Plus, Convene nonprofit board management software is equipped with enterprise-grade security and full audit trails, helping nonprofits protect sensitive information and maintain transparency and accountability. By bringing agenda preparation, document sharing, collaboration, and decision-making - now enhanced by AI intelligence - in one secure place, Convene empowers nonprofit leaders to move past paperwork and logistics and focus entirely on driving their mission forward. The Best Board Portals for Nonprofits: Mission-First Technology "The goal of this partnership is to give every nonprofit a smart, simple, and affordable way to manage agenda, meetings, action items, and leadership processes," said Craig Henderson, Convene's US Region Head. "Suited for nonprofits, Convene Board Portal can help leaders focus on their mission instead of logistics." Previously, board portals have often been seen as a 'nice-to-have' for smaller nonprofits. Through Convene and TechSoup's partnership, organizations of all sizes can now access enterprise-level governance tools at an affordable price, without compromising security. The 50% discount is available immediately to eligible nonprofits through the TechSoup marketplace.

Holding the Line: What Civil Society Needs to Stay Resilient Amid Democratic Backsliding - Mapping and Needs Diagnosis in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. 03.06.2026 Across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, civil society organizations (CSOs) are working in increasingly difficult conditions. Shrinking civic space, financial instability, disinformation, digital security risks, and a fast-changing technology landscape are putting pressure on organizations, activists, and informal initiatives. The Mapping and Needs Diagnosis Summary Report, Holding the Line: What Civil Society Needs to Stay Resilient Amid Democratic Backsliding, takes a closer look at these realities. It explores what civil society actors need to continue their work, strengthen their organizations, and respond to today's challenges in practical and sustainable ways. The report was developed as part of the Regional Support Mechanism EECA project, implemented by Metamorphosis Foundation and TechSoup, in partnership with CIVICUS and under the Digital Democracy Initiative (DDI) that covers the Global South. The Mapping and Needs Diagnosis focused on civic space, organizational sustainability, communication capacity, digital inclusion, digital security, countering disinformation, AI adoption, and emerging opportunities for civic resilience. The findings are based on desk research and semi-structured interviews with civil society actors, including CSO staff, activists, researchers, experts, and practitioners across 13 countries in the region. The publication brings together insights from country reports across the Western Balkans, the Black Sea region, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. It covers Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye, and Ukraine. It highlights shared challenges, local differences, and the kinds of support civil society actors say they need most. It also points to areas where resilience is already taking shape, from youth-led civic action and informal networks to cross-regional collaboration, digital practices, and new approaches to communication and community engagement. These findings will inform and support the next activities within the Regional Support Mechanism EECA project. Read the report HERE.
