The donation comprises a cash gift of $62,000 by the Accenture Foundation and approximately $538,000 of in-kind consulting and related services leveraging Accenture's management, technology and outsourcing expertise. The contribution will be used by LANO to assist its more than 170 New Orleans-based nonprofits in their missions to provide critical services such as preventive health care, elderly and counseling services, and job training. Accenture has been working with LANO since December 2005, first to develop a post-Katrina strategic plan and more recently to assist in developing the Nonprofit Central concept. The majority of the grant will be disbursed over the next six months.
To help develop Nonprofit Central, Accenture is providing consulting services on a pro-bono basis in the areas of project management, organization and process design, and technology consulting. Accenture is also providing assistance to LANO in coordinating support across the coalition of Nonprofit Central service providers, each of which will provide support within its area of expertise – ranging from financial, operational, and marketing assistance to service delivery and volunteer management.
