Tech Systems Review
Project details
What we need
- An assessment of Organization's IT infrastructure including costs, speed, reliability and security
- Advice on various IT services and the cost-benefit associated with each option
- Potentially more efficient and secure services
- Note: This does not include tech systems set up or implementation
Additional details
Our team stores secure data in a way that we might want to change, including a google doc with organization-wide passwords. We have been receiving more phishing emails and would want to find ways that our team knows will keep everything secure.
What we have in place
- We currently have google docs with secure information, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dropbox, airtable and other tools that might help, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,001 , allowing us to produce more stories about youth and families, and support more youth to share their stories
This project will ensure we can keep our information secure and operate effectively organization-wide.

Our mission
Fostering Media Connections (FMC) uses journalism and media to lead the conversation about children, youth and families. FMC's key programs 1) inform child welfare and youth justice policy discussions; 2) train youth with lived experience to lead the conversation around improving the youth justice and child welfare systems; and 3) drive a public discourse that elevates the needs of children, youth and families involved in public systems.
What we do
Our work primarily serves children, youth and families caught up in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems by driving reform to those systems, and by teaching systems-experienced youth to produce their own journalism. We actively share our journalism with mainstream media partners to amplify our work and grab the attention of policymakers and thought-leaders in positions to change child welfare policy and practice.
FMC's programs are:
* The Imprint, a national nonprofit online news outlet covering child welfare and youth justice. The Imprint produces daily news stories, expert columns and op-eds that provide in-depth coverage of the people, policies and practices that land children in foster care and criminal courts.
* Youth Voices Rising, a journalism training program for foster youth with lived experience in the youth justice systems and/or homelessness to help youth gain the skills and confidence they need to articulate the policy and practice changes needed to improve the system.
* Fostering Families Today, a bimonthly resource magazine, which is distributed to foster, adoptive and kinship families across America.
* SafeCamp Audio, a podcast network producing and promoting quality audio content on child welfare, youth justice and youth homelessness.
