We were informed this week that the Missouir Bar Foundation has approved our technology grant request for $16,900.
When Tiffany and I took the reins of the MIP several months ago we had one overwhelming desire in comon: to take the system of moving cases forward into the digital age. So, we wrote a grant to the MO Bar asking for help with that goal.
With this money the MIP will: scan over 40,000 paper documents into a digital form that can be accessed over the internet; purchase an in-house, high-volume scanner to handle the day to day scanning of documents; purchase a server to keep all our digital casework on and serve it up to the internet; upgrade the MIP website (www.TheMIP.org); buy two new computers for our volunteers to use to scan and organize our thousands of documents; and buy the software necessary to run them effeciently.
Anyone within earshot of the board members of the Missouri Bar, please tell them thank you on our behalf.
