One of the great things about the nonprofit technology field is the collection of nonprofit organizations that provide what is often called "Intermediary" services to other nonprofits: information and resources that help nonprofit organizations do the work they do in the world,  by helping them make good technology decisions. I've been involved in one way or another with a number of these intermediary organizations. One of them, Idealware, is an organization whose goal is to provide the sector with unbiased, analytically developed reviews and information about software that nonprofits use in their everyday work. This is incredibly important stuff, and it's darned hard work - I know, I've been involved in doing a bit of research for Idealware. If we don't have this sort of research in our sector, nonprofits won't have the kind of analytical approach to software available - it is much needed. As you might imagine, funding this sort of work doesn't come easy - they need our help to be able to continue to provide great research.
