I'm writing today to ask if you can help NCF connect more members of our community.
The last time we ran a funding drive was in 2011, raising more than $25,000 for new servers and other equipment for our email services. It made a huge difference then. And we could use your help again now.
This past year we once again upgraded our internal network and, as a result, are happy to announce that we’re increasing your email inbox capacity from 1GB to 3GB.
NCF believes that everyone in our region should have access to affordable and high quality internet and related technologies, understand how to use them and feel safe online. And we’re proud that our locally-hosted ad-free email service has been part of this work since we launched our services in February 1993.
Twenty-five years later, we launched our Community Access Fund, which helps those living on low incomes access the internet and learn how to use it safely. In that time we have offered almost 300 Ottawa Community Housing tenants a lower-cost unlimited use internet package, as well as offering all our members dedicated workshops and special events like Digital Access Day.
We want to expand the Community Access Fund with more digital literacy training and opening up the lower-cost internet package to other folks living on low incomes. Our goal is raising $10,000 and at least doubling the enrollment in the program. Please donate today to help support this work.
Member Donate Guest DonateAs NCF is a federally incorporated not-for-profit, rather than a charity, we cannot offer a tax receipt for your donation.
As always, if you’re experiencing any service issues, please contact the HelpDesk by emailing support@ncf.ca or calling 613-721-1773 ext. 0 and leaving a voicemail or speaking to one of our HelpDesk Analysts.
Thank you for being an NCF member and your ongoing support!
Take care,
