Portable (USB ) Open Source Applications...

Let your non-profit save on valuable resources & document your achievements on the go
I've been using open source portable applicatons for a while now. They are great, trustworthy and overall free. ;-)

This is good news for a non-profit, specially given the buget constraints. An additional benefit, is that you can slim down your PC footprint by not having to install applications. There are lots, and lots of applications you can download and install.

Just make sure that you first install the portableapps platform and after just install via the anything else you install options ->install new app. Check out the screen shot below.
