Many of the AHCMC’s constituents are small nonprofits and, as the economy continues to constrict, competition for audiences and donors has grown.

By increasing the role of technology and leveraging its benefits, AHCMC believes it can increase our constituents’ economic viability, become better stewards of contributed income and take advantage of economies of scale and scope that may be realized by leveraging the efficiencies of technology.
