> As always, our goal is to share with you the most
> useful nonprofit resources we have found in the last few
> weeks, starting with two that contain enough information
> to fill several rainy Saturdays:
>
> 1. Based on the need of their global network of social
> entrepreneurs for resources and ideas to help them in
> their work, our friends at Ashoka have created a great
> online library with hundreds of annotated links at
> http://www.changemakers.net/library/index.cfm Click on
> any of the issue areas on the left (Aging, Appropriate
> Technology, Arts &Culture, Biodiversity and the
> Environment, etc.), and you'll see what we mean.

>
> 2. At http://www.communitytechnology.org you will find a
> very good site from the Alliance for Community Change.
> Click on the two links at the bottom (Spotlight and Lists
> & Databases) for detailed reviews of specific tools and
> technologies that organizations can use in their work.
>
>
> 3. At http://www.nonprofitresearch.org the Nonprofit
> Sector Research Fund maintains an extensive library of
> articles and papers about volunteerism, philanthropy and
> the nonprofit sector in general. The NSRF also
> commissions papers on these subjects, and you can click
> on the top right of their home page for their latest
> guidelines.
>
>
> 4. For Spanish speakers, http://www.canalsolidario.com is
> the best nonprofit resource center we have seen in
> Spanish. Go there for news, job and volunteer
> opportunities, event calendars, action alerts, and a
> directory of organizations (mostly in Spain).
>
>
> 5. At http://www.electroniccommunity.org West African
> organizations are building a hub for sharing ideas,
> experience and information. Visit if you work in the
> area, or if you want to work with an African organization
> by taking part in their new 'virtual volunteering'
> project.
>
>
> 6. If you work for a US youth organization, visit
> http://www.adcouncil.org/ondcp to see if you can get some
> media exposure through the Ad Council's new Public
> Service Advertising campaign.
>
>
> Finally, a question for you. If you are located outside
> the US, UK or Canada, what is the best online directory
> or resource center for nonprofit organizations in your
> country or region? Please respond directly to
> [log in to unmask]
