Blogs for Non-Profits to Read

Blogs, web logs that are updated frequently with new information, give you insight into what is actually working for non-profits in areas of fundraising, website development, marketing, strategic planning, etc. They are the ever-growing, all-inclusive text books for organizations that can't afford inefficiency in anything they do. Some we recommend:

Donor Power Blog

Fundraising Breakthroughs
Non-Profit Blog Exchange
Non-Profit Marketing: Getting Attention
Non-Profit Technology Network (NTEN)
