Dear friends,

Every day, at Idealist.org, we get emails and phone calls
from nonprofit organizations seeking specific resources
for their work. When we talk with them, we realize that
many of the resources we take for granted are still
unknown to many people.

To try to do something about this, we've compiled 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
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.

Thanks in advance for sharing this message with your
network.

All the best,
