I agree with you that a community’s philanthropic assets should be tied to that community’s need. And I think it stretches beyond a geographic community to communities of interest, or ethnic / racial communities. There are pools of both wealth and poverty in all communities, and by involving the wealthy as donors and leaders, maybe we, as a field, can inspire more people to support social justice and change the perception that the nonprofit field is “soft.”

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I recently found your blog and I love it. What a great resource for all those interested in nonprofits, especially for women in NYC!

Check out a nonprofit blog that I am working with a couple of classmates. We are all in social change programs at Milano, The New School. http://idealistmilanoblog.wordpress.com/

Hi, I saw your comment on Renee’s blog. So I thought I would come and have a look see what you are about.

This is a subject that I also studied last semester and I was wondering if you are aware of volunteers being offered work in non profit organisations as a way to gain not just experience but expertise?

I am doing business which sounds similar to you and one assignment was “I am a business”.

I also work in the non profit community and there is a world wide movement from what I take from seminars where we are cutting out many groups so that we don’t fight over limited funding and work towards having a good network between a few groups with great communication through technology.

We have had around 50 groups for youth but no-one was able to do any real progress because we were all on tight budgets. But when the specialists came from overseas and trained us, we had 10 – 20 groups that were specialising in certain areas so that we didn’t compete but became “teamwork”. This way we had more resources and could offer a better service as a community.
