“We added an extension to the USTF because we want to make sure we completely utilize these funds throughout the community.” Paul Daigle, President of USTF and Bytes, Bits & Megabytes, confirms. “In these tough economic times, we know that IT is typically the last priority on a non-profit’s agenda and is the first investment to get cut.”  

Bytes, Bits & Megabytes, a leading Central Florida technology provider developed the USTF in 2009, which provides local non-profits in Seminole and Orange County with a variety of services: Networking, Security, Software/Equipment Auditing, Computer Support, Onsite Repair and more.

“Each of the current winners listed above are also eligible to double their winnings,” Daigle explained. “If USTF analyzes their needs and feels they deserve more services, we want to have the ability to offer more.”

With this troubling economy, USTF is broadening its reach by offering an online resource on Facebook as well as offer bi-annual seminars that cater to non-profits by offering tips, guides, resources, and discounts from IT providers to economically maintain their IT systems and maximize technology for communication and fundraising.

USTF is partnering with Häkk Media, a local consultancy that focuses on small-to-mid size businesses/organizations by helping them develop integrated marketing strategies with the latest technologies to drive sales opportunities for incremental growth. Häkk Media will be maintaining and supporting the online communications, public relations, education and social media.

USTF is currently reaching out to more local, regional and national providers of IT/office equipment and professional services to donate and offer deep discounts to non-profits.
