Working For You

Interesting Links to Check Out

Small Change Fund

Just a few dollars can make a big difference. This site highlights local projects across Canada and abroad. They are creating a giving community and you can participate in conversations on micro-philanthropy. If you check out this site write back and let us know what you think.

Common Grants

This website allows a nonprofit to write one application and apply for several grants at the same time. I am really curious to see how many funders they can get on board and what the response is like.

Groupable

This website is similar to Common Grants but is for corporate giving and sponsorships. If you have an upcoming event or other sponsorship opportunities load your sponsorship levels and benefits. If you try this out please let me know how it goes. They mentioned alumni associations as a large market that does really well.

Opportunities for my Readers

Let me take a second to share with you, my reader, about a couple of different ways we can work together. I want this blog to be interactive and useful for you, and I encourage you to email me with ideas and input on new posts or other content at any time.

  • Free Advertising for my Nonprofit Readers: If you check out the bottom of my left-hand sidebar you’ll see a link to a number of my readers’ websites. If you want to participate send me a 200 by 100 pixel jpeg and a url.
  • Link Exchange: If you have a nonprofit or philanthropy blog I’d love to talk about including you in my blogroll. Link exchanges are a great way to increase your ranking on Google and other search engines.
  • Online Awards: I want to be your go-to source for upcoming online awards that can benefit your nonprofit. If you hear about an award that I have not posted about please let me know so I can share it everyone.
  • Featured Fundraiser: Every month (or so) I highlight different fundraisers from a broad range of career levels and backgrounds. I operate entirely on referral, so keep your ears open for someone you think I should feature.
  • Online Fundraising Campaigns: In an effort to create best practices and industry standards for online giving, I’m collecting stories about what does and does not work in online fundraising. If you have participated in a successful campaign or know of anyone who has, please share your observations.

The Nonprofit Carnival

Every month a different blogger will post a link to a number of blog posts about nonprofits and giving. This March 31 I will be hosting the The Nonprofit Carnival. If you run a blog for or about nonprofits or fundraising, submit you post at blogcarnival.com or at nonprofitcarnival@gmail.com and I will try my best to include it in this month’s post. Closing date for submissions is March 28.
