A combination of Salesforce (free for non-profits), Quickbooks Online, and another technology or two may not only solve individual Main Street organizational problems but put power in the hands of volunteers and help standardize how data is collected and managed at the state and national levels. (Not to mention we might be able to sell the product to other states!) Imagine being able to update information from your smartphone!
