A Nonprofit Resources Resource
Another stunning thing that I discovered at Nonprofit Boot Camp is that there are hundreds of resources out there for nonprofit organizations - and there are even more nonprofits that don’t know those resources exist.
As I walked around the exhibit hall, I recognized the names of at least 70% of the exhibitors there; that didn’t seem all that strange to me - after all, it was a conference focused on my chosen industry. What astounded me was that most of the attendees seemed not to know about the services available to them. They had no idea that VolunteerMatch.org could fix them up with volunteers who were interested in their cause, or that The Foundation Center offers free workshops and classes in fundraising basics.
That’s when it hit me: all this research I’ve been doing for the past year has really paid off!
Once I discovered that I had all this useful knowledge about nonprofit resources, I had to do something with it! I decided that the best thing to do was to put it all in one place, where it’s easily accessible and other people can add their own resources to it as well. To that end, I proudly present:
The Giant List O’ Nonprofit Resources!
It’s a Squidoo lens where I’ve compiled all of the great nonprofit resources I’ve found so far - links, blogs, services, books, etc. - and I’ll keep adding to it as I find more. I’m encouraging other people to tell me about their own resources too - there’s no way I can find all the good stuff, and if we pool our knowledge, we’ll all end up better off in the end…
Check it out, let me know what you think, and if you’ve got a resource to add, leave it in a comment! Also, if you buy anything through the Amazon links, a small portion of the money will go to Donors Choose, and another small portion will go into the Drama Farm Startup Fund. So do some shopping - it’ll make you feel good!
