===NGO Education===
Public Interest Registry’s mission is to educate and enable the global noncommercial community in support of using the internet more effectively. Public Interest Registry began working with [http://www.nptechforgood.com/heather-mansfield/ Nonprofit Tech for Good] in 2015. The two organizations set out to educate the nonprofit industry through the development of the [http://techreport.ngo/ Global NGO Technology Report] and [https://givingreport.ngo/ Global Trends in Giving Report]. Both reports survey thousands of NGOs around the world about their use of technology to connect with their audience and donors. The report provides insight on the online and mobile communication tools NGOs around the world use to promote general awareness, communicate with core audiences and raise funds from donors, as well as an analysis of those online tools and comparisons of regional usage.
