Here are some good resources and information on the nonprofit industry.

... a list of the 10 sites we think every nonprofit in the US should know about. If you have a moment, please share this message with friends and colleagues so that the whole sector can benefit from these resources. Here they are:

1. At http://www.foundationcenter.org the Foundation Center provides information about every foundation in the country. Much of this information is free, but some of it is for paying subscribers only.

2. At http://www.guidestar.org Guidestar lists financial information for 800,000 nonprofits. You can
use Guidestar for research, and you can also update your organization’s entry there.

3. At http://www.idealist.org Idealist.org has built the leading nonprofit job site in the country. In addition
to jobs, you can also list events, volunteer opportunities and internships, and at http://www.idealist.org/consultants you can find the most comprehensive directory of nonprofit consultants on the Web.

4. At http://news.gilbert.org Michael Gilbert maintains a great site with daily news updates bridging the online and nonprofit worlds. You can read the news there, or you can subscribe for weekly email updates.

5. At http://www.nonprofitbasics.org the Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership is building a
resource center with lots of great information for starting, running and funding an organization.

6. At http://www.nonprofits.org/npofaq Putnam Barber maintains the Nonprofit FAQ – an older resource center that is special because it is based on actual questions and answers posted by nonprofit managers over the years.

7. At http://www.networkforgood.org people can find volunteer opportunities, and they can also make donations to hundreds of thousands of nonprofits. Most importantly, you can use this site to add a free Donate button to your Web site.

8. At http://www.serviceleader.org you will find a huge site covering every aspect of volunteer management, from screening, matching, record-keeping and evaluation, to legal issues, risk management and virtual volunteering.

9. At http://www.techsoup.org Techsoup has built the leading resource center for all issues related to nonprofit technology. In addition, they offer steep discounts on software for nonprofits, sometimes up to 90% off the list price.

10. At http://www.volunteermatch.org people can find volunteer opportunities all over the country by ZIP code or area of interest.

Lastly, in addition to these 10 online resources, we recommend that people check out http://www.ncna.org/states.htm for the nonprofit state association closest to them.
